    In other years, I've always received the email alerts either just before several days of rain, or during the afternoon I'm driving off for a week's holiday.

      Hi all
      I live in Swansea(SOUTH WALES) and have blight on my potatos and have cut them back.
      I was wondering if anybody else have had problems.

        Sorry, missed this one @ryland.j

        They'll keep in the ground till you need them but won't store if you dig them up.

        Not had an alert for months, which is a good thing :)

        Hi
        Hi Zigs,
        Yes I will leave them in the ground for now.
        Last year I dug them up about october (after having blight) and put them in Hessian sacks and they stored well,so planning on doing the same again:)

        Regards
        Ryland
