Hi Guys,
I have been growing spuds for years with no problems at all (well if you discount slugs and mice).
It was only when I started sowing blight resistant varieties that my problems started!
The first variety turned out to be blight 'tolerant', rather than resistant. For the first time I suffered from blight of the foliage. The plants grew on quite cheerfully regardless, however as I was also aiming for a large tomato crop I though it too risky to let them stay so harvested early.
This year I chose a blight resistant variety, the plants grew well with no signs of disease, however me spuds in storage are rotting from the inside out. They are not mushy, but a strange rusty colour spreads throughout the whole spud.
Does this sound like tuber blight, or do I have something else sinister going on?
Anyone have any ideas?
