Erk!

I checked my potatoes tonight and most of them were showing signs of blight so I dug the whole lot up as I was having a bonfire to get rid of weeds anyway.

All of the spuds were fine so am going to have to plan quite a few potato meals this week!

Haven't (touch wood) been troubled by anything more than whitefly so far....  watch this space!
