Charlotte Potatoes and rot in larger tubers
« on: August 19, 2014, 09:48 »
Not sure why but the largest of the Charlotte pots are rotten right through.   Some slug damage on nearly all sizes but the largest tubers are for the bin.     Is this a known problem with Charlottes or is it some other problem?   No sign of Blight ot blackleg but as mentioned above some slug damage and some common scab.
Do you really need al that lettuce/

Large tubers have been developing a lot longer than the smaller ones, so if there has been slug problems, then the damage was done a while ago.  During this time, other pests have moved in and caused the rotting.

Got a similar problem with Charlotte here too!

Also I sowed them a bit too shallow, and several have greened up, so better attention to detail for next year! (I used a bub planter, and didn't get to the depth they needed)!

But we have enough still in the ground, and I'll get them out soon, and bag the good ones up.
