Topic: Blight problems

[KMARKSnr]

Blight has been a problem on our plots to a degree this last 3 yrs,so i tried growing a blight resistant spud called "Lady Balfour".
       The result was fantastic !Huge yields of potatoes with no blight whatsoever.They make great chips,or boiled,and your hand stays in your pocket in the superstores,and shops.
        I also grew "Desiree".and had great spuds come out,but a lot went on to rot in the bag,- i presume this was blight,but equally a lot where fine.
        Anyways the "gist is"- Lady Balfour for quality,and yield,was outstanding!

                           Regards,
                                 Mark.

I'm trying them again, but last year they 'got it'!

My toms got it last week so I know it's here.   :o
My King Edward haulms have all died back way before then (of old age, not disease) and I've just been keeping in the ground for now. 
Will they be OK as there is nothing alive above ground to collect spores?  There are still a few dry stems sticking up. :'(
