Title: What to do with potatoes?
Post by: grannyjanny on July 19, 2009, 20:26:22
We had to cut the haulms from our second earlies 2 weeks ago because of blight. If the weather is wet could they go in the greenhouse to dry for a couple of hours or are we best leaving them in the ground a bit longer until we get a sunny day? They are vivaldi & hunter.

Hi,

If you have removed the haulms then they are ok where they are, i removed mine on my early's weeks ago and just leave them in the ground. The main crop will be dug up and stored in paper sacks.
