Odd looking spuds!
« on: July 02, 2010, 18:37 »
Some of my neighbour's spuds, he dug in lots of manure earlier this year and had very tall tops. Pretty much the entire crop look like this, any ideas?

Looks like erratic (very) irrigation, either by hand or nature.

Here's two links, the first our very own, further down this page:

http://www.allotment-garden.org/garden-diary/551/potatoes-onions-garlic-strawberries/

then

http://www.potato.org.uk/department/knowledge_transfer/pests_and_diseases/ref.html?item=38
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
