Hey guys, i hope you can help me out with my potato problem. I moved house in March & the garden wasnt gardener friendly, i had a lot of work to do so i decided to try growing my spuds in compost bags just so i knew i would have a small crop to look forward to. Things started to grow well, i topped up the bags as the plants grew, then in 1 bag about 2 weeks after the last top up nothing was happening. The 2nd bag continued to grow well until about 10 days ago, i topped up the bag as usual, the leaves started to come through a few days later but they didnt seem as strong (does that make sence??). Then it went limp & just kinda lay there :'(.
have my spuds got some nasty kind of disease?? Is there some potato plant loving bug thats munching away on my lovely spuds?? Oh 1 last question, is it to late to plant my last few seed potatoes???
Cheers :)
Possibly black leg?
Not to late to start some more... but you'll need to watch out for blight... :-X
