Allotments 4 All

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
