Title: Blighted spuds- to wash or not?
Post by: manicscousers on August 19, 2012, 21:56:24
Our Nadine spuds got blighted so, when we spotted it, we cut the tops down, left them 2 weeks then dug them up. There were a few rotten ones so, we washed, dried and stored the good ones. Then the smell started. I've emptied the bag, thrown the 5 rotten ones. Now, do I wash, dry and store the rest or just dump the lot? We had jackets with some a couple of days ago and they were fine. It's annoying, we had 70 lbs  ::)

I've had the same problem with kestrel and set about washing them to check out any brown patches and then throw those away. Unfortunately there were lots. Ah well.
