Trying. How do things look your way?

Yes they are not looking too bad. Markies set last week in March. Well ahead. Have got one wet patch half to 3/4 of acre with the bottom pots rotting away nicely. Thinking about Fazor late next week. Have seen some other fields around here with water problems too. We need a good old natural disaster in Europe to help. But let's not talk it down too much. [emoji6]

Potatoes look good everywhere, but have they got much on the bottom? Look all top to me.
Still a few months to go on the main crop, something might happen. A lot of talking down going on.

Thanks what's the best treatment
No curative for alternaria only protectant best to treat high risk variety with a product that will offer protection used some amphore plus will see how well it works.

It's like baling straw. Never seen wheat do 5tac without huge swaths of straw. I bale on other farms I know who the liars are yield wise.
Plenty of top and bottom on my bard.

I don't like being negative but I'll be very surprised if this isn't the highest yielding year ever

Did some test digs today after another 20mm piper not advanced enough for fazor. Good tuber numbers but no size. Please God keep the blight away

Not here, unless we have some rain.
Very very dry.

Very much an east/west divide from what I'm seeing - although tuber numbers look a bit mixed on the east they will do much better than midlands crops with water needed urgently on small samples and plenty of scab appearing too..............hearing £130 in bags today won't be enough at current yields.
Same here all top no bottom

Performer look poor to me,either lots of top and no bottom or poor tops and no bottom.
Agria all top, not much bottom.
Sagitta not much top but bold and very clean tubers.
Piper fair bit of top,not so many on a root but good size and clean.
