blight warning
« on: May 29, 2009, 17:39 »
I just received an email from blight watch warning about 1 odd smith day earlier in the week and then yesterday and today make the 2 for full smith period. Panic panic!!!
Keeping everything firmly crossed.........first time growing spuds and they are just flowering, so really don't want them spoilt now.  :(

Your spuds will be OK.  Keep an eye on any tomatoes though as they are susceptible to early blight.

There will be virtually no risk in the garden so relax :) 

Allotments harbour more bugs and fungi so the risk is greater.
