Frost on Potatoes

« on: May 09, 2014, 10:39 »

Our allotments suffered with a recent heavy frost. So much so the greenery on the emerging potatoes got caught...droopy/black... will this affect the crop at all...will they recover..will my new spuds be ok?

They'll recover, it'll just set them back a bit.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Same happened to me last week, my spuds (pardon the pun) have already sprouted new shoots, all is not lost.
