  1. Christmas 1984, picked up a frozen chicken the size of a pigeon donated by the railway union already sold my guns and gear, and a carrier bag of tinned stuff (lucky dip some had no labels.) Russian prunes and what could have been stewed steak or dog meat?. Some toys and books for my daughter for Christmas morning from the donations in the welfare club. Then again I was one of the enemy within. March 1984/85 a year I will never forget or regret a reset on my life never been without since.

    Seeing the wider pictures of the plant… Would you say my problem is blight? The leaves look fine

    Plant looks fine, mine started in the leaves brown spots underneath so I cut the leaves off, it spread to the fruit within days so I binned the lot about 20 plants in all. Finished lifting potatoes had 3 roots that were well infected. Tomatoes in greenhouse are all good.

  3. Been perfect weather for late blight,  it's gone through all 30 plots on our allotments, topped all main crop potatoes 2 week ago, and took up all outside tomato plants (all infected), got 6 moneymaker in greenhouse no sign yet and cropping well now were getting some sun. Dug 9 rows of Picasso (12 ft rows) good crop 4 sacks clean and 1 sack slug damaged or caught with fork only a couple of small ones near top had signs of blight. Started digging main crop cara today not looking to bad to say there coming out early. Think I caught the potatoes just in time before it travelled down the stalks.

  4. Took mine up last week, grew Bristol and Elsia Craig from seed and Sturton from sets, when sorted ended up cleaning and freezing 2 buckets (13 lb) due to whiterot as they won't store. Got 8 bunches strung up in the shed, found there was more  rot on the sets than the ones from seed. Grew them all under mesh this year due to onion fly which has been bad for the last couple of years and never lost any to it.

    Spuds are looking good plenty of top on them.
