New to this and HELP I need Potato advice.
« on: October 15, 2009, 21:07 »
Hi Everyone
I'm lucky enough to have just taken over a well maintained plot in Cornwall and am keen to start growing my own fruit and veg.
Whilst chatting with experienced folk from the site I have been told that I will be able to  grow anything on the site but will struggle with potatoes. This is due to the blight problem that they suffer with every year. Apparently there's been sucess with earlies but not with main crop.
I've been told that most people don't even bother trying.
I've read about some blight resistant varieties and despite my inexperience, am keen to give it a go.
My favourite varieties are International Kidney/Jersey Royal and I also love King Edwards. Can anyone give me any advice or advise alternative/similar tasting blight resistant varieties.
Thanks for your help with this x

I've locked this thread as it's a duplicate of another one where there are replies already - better not to have more than one running at a time  ;)

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
