Blight alert

First blight alert of the year for me here in the South East.

Glad the tomatoes are still in the cold frame and the potatoes under fleece and only just showing.

Yep, one day of sunshine and we get a blight alert, what a year this is.
If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe!

Not wanting to appear too ignorant, but do you register somewhere to receive blight alerts?
