Hi all, is there anyone out there that can offer an answer? I've had a look around a varietiy of potato related websites, including the Potato Council, but to no avail.

I was digging up osprey tatoes, all of which were very nice apart from one plant. The haulm looked no different to the rest, however there was no proper tuber development. All there was was a collection of tiny potatoes, largest about thumbnail size, all hunkered together and growing immediately below the haulm. My initial reaction was 'Can you get club root on tatoes?', the appearance being so similar.

The potatoes look quite perfect.

Cheers M

I'll pass on the problem other than to say that club root is brassic specific, so it's not that.

maybe  too much feed? dug up 2 maris pipers and had quite a low unexpected yield of new potato's but i was expecting more. tall strong foliage but tasty new potato's. learnt my lesson for next year
