In fear of the dreaded blight I have cut down the foliage on my PFA to just stalks and thought I would leave them in for a week or two to set the skins, is this right or would it be better to lift them now?
Thanks

The normal practice is to leave them three weeks. I always dig up give an afternoon in the sun (That big yellow thing in the sky.... ) then sack up... and check weekly for about a month... just in case. The tubers are relatively blight resistant.. :)
thanks saddad, I think I remember that big yellow thing ;D
The best reason for leaving them in is they will swell a little from the plant material still in the soil drawn back into the tubers... :-\
The big yellow thing 8) was out about 2.30 when I was digging up the last of my earlies, bloody hot it was. 8) ;D ;D ;D
