early spuds rotten?
« on: July 22, 2009, 21:28:07 »
Lifted my Pentland Javelin the other day and they are all brown - has all this rain rotted them.  Was waiting for them to flower, but they didn't.

How are they brown? Internal rings or all the flesh uniformly?  :-\

Sounds like Spraing to me... several causes including water shortage, viruses and trace element problems... do they smell foul?  :-\
