20 plus on a root here
I know it's rubbing it in, but we won't need another drop of rain now for the rest of the growing season. It was a struggle harvesting tonight

Still waiting to do fazor here :( can't seem to string two days back to back dry.
Anyway could somebody give up to date prices please.

I've got some blight in my potatoes and have removed all foliage. Should I lift them immediately and try and sort or leave them a couple of weeks so that the blight affected tubers are easier to pick out?

How many acres?

I'd leave them myself. Are they organic? I haven't heard of any blight this year apart from in organic ones.

Not looking good. Think they are busy talking the trade down as much as possible.

Long way to go before all crops are actually in store.
