"David in Normandy" wrote in message ... He'd better hurry up because I'm harvesting all the potatoes, a couple of rows each day. They will all be up within a fortnight. I'm determined not to leave them in the ground too late this year - I had problems with blight last year rotting the tubers and the ones that seemed OK didn't keep well over winter. The potato tops are starting to yellow a bit now, so I think its time to lift them... got a bumper crop of large spuds too. Variety = Daisy. They are great for chips. I managed to lift my 1st earlies: Foremost and Nichola, last week. On Thursday, my remaining spuds were showing signs of blight. I removed the haulms and banked up. Two rows each of Wilja, Nichola and Desiree. I've run out of storage space, so they'll stay in the ground until required. Some neighbours are taking them off my hands, but there's been a glut. |
