Could be Spraining  :!:

Hessayon says :

Could be caused by virus, trace element deficience or water shortage

Never had a spud quite like that before. Have the odd one from supermarkets that have had similar marking inside, but never changed colour of spud.  

I don't know enough about spud probs to help though Richy, sorry.

[shaun]

new one on me richy but it looks like a courgette to me  

[Gwiz]

dont know what causes it, but we have had some like that too.
tasted fine.
burp.

You're right, the pic isn't great, but from what I can see it looks like the potato got pollinated by a grapefruit. Is the centre bit hollow?

[richyrich7]

No not hollow more opaque than anything.

Reminded me of potato printing that the kids do.

Looks like your spud plant's grown a lemon, Richy.

 shortage    

  Def spraing Pentland dell are the most susceptible potatoe to this problem...Best not to grow them again and do not grow spuds in this area for at least 3 to 5 years

It will be 3 years before they come back to that spot on my crop rotation plan. So I won't worry to much, plenty of lime in the winter may help

Richy I knew that you would have proper rotation,but we have to give advice to those people who log in for information and answers.  They may be unaware that it is important not to grow potatoes in that soil for so long.

So far I've had pigeon swarms, bolting brassicas weird spuds, rampaging bindweed  (and I didn't see any last year).foxes ripping up the fleece.

Ohh this is weird a pigeon has just fell down my chimney it's banging about behind the fire  :?  :roll:  I kid you not!
