    I'm going to spray when the drizzle stops, sprayed 2/3 weeks ago already.

    Sounds like a good plan, even if those two sightings are not confirmed, the blight can not be far away now with all this wet.

    All my earlies are ready (foliage yellowed > removed)
    and I just had a furtle in my maincrop and was surprised to find the first tuber I came to is 3 and a bit inches in diameter already ! That'll do for me, so I think by the time blight gets up here from down your way I could remove all the tops and not bother spraying, maybe !
