Blight

Not even a txt from Blightwatch

Sprayed with Bordeaux mixture then drank a bottle of Bordeaux

 

Sprayed mine today, first black mark on a stem.
I hate this weather.

I'd rather suck on an old penny than drink a bottler of that stuff Zigs

 

It was only a Bordeaux bottle. didn't say what it had in it

 

Personally, I wouldn't bother with that Blightwatch thingy. Better I think, to spray routinely

 

Is there Blight about?? i've just got second lot of spuds coming through

 

Got any Bordeaux mixture Jif?

I had an alert for my old address a few days back, but none for Dorset.

 

No, i've never used it, i think this year is the first that i may have got an blight but not sure as i've never seen it i've had one or two plants that went black and soft just before they died off and the a few spuds which went soft/rotten when i dug then up so one/two out of 90 to 100 kg's of spuds is not bad

 

Wasn't meths, was it.
Good for cleaning windows, or so they say.

 

That sounds more like Soft rot Jif, blight takes out the lot in a matter of days

Pineapple wine

 

Well the few spuds that weren't any good smelled bad and the whole spud was like wet mashed potato which went on to the fire not composted

 

It's only been in recent years that I've realised that I've probably had (late) blight in the past, as then it hit so late in the season that I'd attributed it to a missed early frost warning when all my tomatoes were suddenly wiped out, but 'late' blight seems to be getting earlier and earlier, n.but they seem to succumb to it a bit slower earlier in the season.

 

OK, I'll stick with the penny then.

I had blight in Swansea about three or four weeks ago,
and had to cut all the plants back

 

No chemicals on my crops - unless the whole crop is threatened ...
