Title: Do I dig up all my potatoes now?
Post by: Karen Atkinson on September 01, 2011, 18:51:45

We dug up the last of ours yesterday and I have to say they had suffered with the slugs.
I'd pick a nice dry day and get them up.

I agree with macmac.

Mine are still in the ground. Two rows lifted and four to go. This week-end will be a busy one especially as rain is forecast for Sunday.

Up they come!!!  ;)

Some varities are more prone than others to slug damage.  I have found Red Duke of York to be a particular favourite.

Conversely here my Red Dukes are virtually slug proof....  :-X
