Once I read(potato council, maybe), they are officially rated 0-9 for blight resistance, so there will be quite a difference between varieties rating 1 or 8, like Orla for ex.

I was given a handful Golden Wonder seed potatoes (from a reliable source) which I believe was supposed to be blight resistant.  They got blight.


The keywords are 'blight resistant' not 'blight proof'. :lol:

Last year it was very virulent.


 :lol:

PS the emoticon I really wanted should have been blowing a raspberry :D

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