Shame, really.

That's Colleen gone.  And it's just going into the Milva.

Sarpo Mira after that - hopefully a barrier? - then PFA.

Oh Tim. It is a shame - the second pic is just carnage. I do love the titles of the jpegs though! Can I ask, what is sarpo mira?

Is it not one of the new so called blight resistant varieties?

I stupidly gave away my two Sarpo varieties as I overordered on earlies and ran out of room...................... :'(

I've just cut down the foliage on my Picasso's and Kestrels, the Desiree's are next, have a few spots on them which I've picked off by hand.... :-\

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

The ones in the top picture should be good for another 3 or 4 weeks growth if you nurse them properly - long enough to get a crop in.

The penalty of early de-haulming.

Colleen are fine - some as big as bakers!

Milva - this is from only an edge plant but it doesn't bode well for the total crop.

Sarpo Mira - red - still has a long way to go, so I'm going to leave the tops & hope to contain the problem.

Both the latter two are supposed to be resistant or very resistant.
