Does the blight warning text and email set up carry on to the next year or do I have to re-register?

It rolls over, or at least it did.

For newcomers, this is worth a look:

It must roll over as I was surprised to recieve email this afternoon, I registerd last year.

Or you could get out there and look at your crops.     Cheers,  Tony.

That's really, really helpful. Once you've got it - too late!

The advice is aimed at prevention.

Blightwatch alert just issued for full Smith period in Bristol.

And in my area

And all but one of the postcode areas surrounding where I am.

With no blight outbreaks yet reported, I don't think there's much cause for alarm.

Any blight you do get now would be early potato blight which is a different pathogen to the destructive late blight.

Have a look at this fact sheet and save the panicing for later in the year.
