The seed? I store everything in Coldstore as dug, grade as I need it, sell the stuff first that I want seed from and put seed back in store.When do you take them out? At harvest?

Looking at mind tomorrow. Dreading what I'm going to find.This secondary growth thing is a bit of a worry, this potato was on a root in the middle of the field

And these have been irrigated every week. It was dry as a bone though.
@Fubar did you fazor yours?

Didn't fazor in the end. Crop is too stressed already. Don't need fazor for storage. Was going to use it to try andprevent secondary growth. Doubt the spuds are big enough anyway!
Don't know about secondary growth. It would be nice to have a bit of primary growth!!

How many years can you do this?
We haven’t got a cold store, but have to keep the stores at 8c for frying. So that may make things more difficult.
I’m not using Fazor to control secondary growth, just for storage. We have two stores where we can’t gas as we use them for combinable crop storage. Agronomist just said it may control some secondary growth.
How much rain did you get @Honest john ? I’ve heard some got 40mm, we had 20mm in the end.
Sweet FA in terms of rainfall here yet.
