Oh dear, I just realised a few minutes ago, what I was saying there, I could not understand what the fuss was about. :oops:

What I thought I was saying is: Quite a smarta**e for a green horn.

A bit different. Sorry, sorry. :oops: :oops:

Don't forget tho' if we have no blight or you pot's don't get it, for main crop lift 2-3 weeks after the haulms have collapsed or you have cut them down( in the case of blight) this gives the skins time to set and will in the long run make your pots store better, Don't leave much longer than that as the little slugs in the soil are more prevelant towards the end of the season.

Good advice to leave them for the skins to set before lifting Richy. If you don't they get infected as you lift them and rot in storage :evil:
