Me too... Chap near me cut the tops off several rows... before discovering (through discussion with others) that it really wasn't blight   :blink:  :ohmy: last year!!

We removed the whole 8x3 foot raised bed, expecting hardly any crop and got seventeen and a half pounds

and they are perfect no slug damage, no bad ones perfect. all similiar sized slightly bigger than a small bean can, which considering they went in last of all the spuds, and looked like they had half as much green and not a single flower, we are quite pleased  :D

we are now spraying the rest just incase  ;)

Nice spuds, but you would have got more, surely,  if you had just taken out the dodgey one and left the others to mature?

Too late now, so enjoy them  :)

You've wasted your money BQ.

It's either a Calcium or Phosphorous deficiency - not sure which, could be both.  What have you fed them with ?
