I've been putting off posting these for a week or two but I suppose in the name of completeness here are the potatoes which developed blight in storage. The ones I salvaged look OK so far but time will tell. How heartbreaking it must have been during the Irish famine to discover something like this and know it would mean starvation for your children. The foul smell & texyure just seems to add insult to injury....

How very honest to include pics of failures as well as your many successes!!!
Glad you're back as I and I'm sure many others were missing your very interesting lottie diary
Many thanks for your comment - I hadn't realised how long it was since I last posted. It was a nice surprise to discover that someone had noticed!!
All the best, Mike
