Wardy,

I have used the Blight Watch, as recommended by Jerry, for 3 years now and our local BBC station gardening programme gives out the news too

There are also maps on the website showing where outbreaks have been located - a combination of the right conditions and blight in the areas is what you need to watch out for

Phil

Unless you missed it tha last time I mentioned it - most blight outbreaks are traced back to last year's potatoes, either those discarded or volunteers - so if you see any - please dig 'em up

Dig 'em up Phil, tricky when they are coming up inbetween your globe artichokes and onions!  >:(  Thought I had them all out last year!  Darn things.

Plus, there are toms planted out on our site - not me I hasten to add, but I have spotted the first lot in the ground.
