    So sorry you had blight on the potatoes Ivan. Thank you for showing us what to look out for. Hope you enjoy the harvest of potatoes. Thanks for sharing.

    I thought it was too early for blight, could it be rust? I've just googled it and it brought up some similar images to yours. worth a thought, or maybe I'm clutching at straws lol

  8. Nicholas Sans Pasty

    this makes me realise I know very little about early blight, I'll look close at some of mine that are dying down earlier than expected so this is a good warning, I do know with late blight you can compost the foliage the pathogen can't survive on dead material only living plants, it can survive on tubers but not dead leaves / stems, but I don't know anything about the lifecycle of early blight will be interesting to read

    glad you got something out of it at least, thanks for showing us what to look for. my 2nd earlies have some brown/yellow parts on edges of a few leaves and im panicking but theres none of the spots on the leaves, they just dont look like they are doing too well though and ive put it down to the fierce heat but will be watching them constantly now!

    Praying I don't get it 🤞To be honest I don't even know when mine are meant to be ready and can't remember what they are 😅 I really need to label things.

  13. Charlotte Innocent

    My first lot of potatoes were brought in for dinner last night, they were beautiful! I can't thank you enough for these warnings and advice.

  14. Steves Repairs

    Thanks Ivan, it's a shame that the plants had blight but, every cloud as they say, at least it wasn't a total disaster and those little spuds look nice. Take care and all the best. Stevie

    Hi Ivan , great update , I am a bit worried about my potatoes too , ihave a 6×3 raised bed half Charlotte's and half red Duke of York both put in on 23/3 but my Charlotte's leaves are a very yellow and brown some have totally gone but my red Duke of Yorkshire are fine still green , no flowers on either and after watching your update I'm a bit worried any advice gratefully received from 👍

  17. Dave Mansell

    Great advice mate, there's loads of gardeners who'd persevere with those spuds and end up disappointed.

  18. Jack Green

    Thanks for that Ivan- in 40+ years of growing veg I've never seen blight, and that's shown me something to look out for

    As they say here in NI them plants are "tatty bread." Thanks for that never grown spuds before, but I've spread them around the garden in 3 separate places, just in case. Happy you have at least a feed out of them.

  24. Galacticlez

    Oh dear. I wish I could send a picture of mine. I think I am starting with the same problem. But not sure.

  25. Sylvia Briggs

    Enjoy listening to you Ivan you make it look nice and easy , I’ll be checking so far mine look ok ,, from a number x

  27. Xinte60

    Thanks for that Ivan, really useful to know how to spot blight before it gets to everything

  28. Josie Bridges

    I know now what to look for, thank you.
    I was curious and dug up a few potatoes yesterday, little russets and a red but no yukons yet in a mixed potato bin.
