Blight double check - hey I'm a noooob

Hi all,

Thought I'd better double check with you experts about these marks on my potatoes and tomatoes...

Spuds... (maybe it just means time to uplift?)





and tomatoes...

 

Hey Triffid,

Its always a worry, even if you've seen it year after year.

Think you're ok there, bit of magnesium deficiency and a bit of sun scorch buy the looks of it.

 

Having a second look, i'm now not so sure, what area are you in ?

 

cheers ziggy :-)

magnesium eh - will look into that...

 

oh - Yorkshire

 

dug a spud up and it looked ok

that row was in a shady spot the one next to it grew mucch bigger and cropped better too

 

Not heard of any reports from Yorkshire yet, you might want to sign up to this,

Blightwatch.co.uk - the essential service for professional potato growers

You get an alert if its in your postcode & you know to spray with bordeaux mixture in advance.

 

cheers Ziggy - will do

 

I'm probably just panicking, had a look out my window & just one of my varieties is doing the same thing, if it was blight, all of them would be doing it.

 

Triffid, it`s not blight, so lift the spuds and feed the Toms.:D:D

 

Did I read on the forums that magnesium deficiency is cured by a dose of Epsom Salts???

It certainly cured my latest bout of stomach cramps
