Blasted blight....

As you can see the Desiree potato haulm is beginning to show signs of blight and needs cutting in order to try and stop the spores getting into the tubers...

...seems a shame to do it as the potatoes won't get any bigger but it is the only way to save the crop...

...I will leave the ptatoes as they are for a few days before lifting them - watch this space to see what kind of yield we get digging them early...
