Mold on Potato Ok 3709

Actually, yes - I was looking for answers to those particular questions, thanks.

This is getting strange indeed!

Hmmm, Kath's (my wife) all suffered terribly from being eaten alive, each time (seed sourced from different places too) and yielded poorly anyway. The store bought ones have been almost unstoppable! We actually have a lot with another crop nearly ready, just from the few spuds we missed when we dug out last winter - there's probably about half as many plants growing as we planted last time (the lot has just been left as we've got other projects underway, like out new polytunnel, some reorganising, and a big herb garden being built). The ones we put into the greenhouse soil bed during winter have exploded upwards and outwards and are VERY ready to be dug out now... strange!

These are just some pretty ordinary white potatoes this time, as they were the last, but they taste far from the ordinary spuds they started as, when we get them out - they seemingly always turn out *far* superior to the store ones.

You're telling me! We grow them every year, 1, 2 or 3 different times, and my wife did the same for years before we met. Can't beat digging them up, taking them home, washing, cooking and serving with lashings of locally

Thank you muchly - I'd really like the low down on all this.

Cheers!
