Talkback: Potato blight and Bordeaux Mixture

gunky potatoes

Hi , last year my three year old son and myself attempted to grow potatoes. It was far from a sucess. They ended up all mushy and gunky. I dug them all up and turned the soil. I filled it with home grown compost and covered it down for the winter by Marge Doran Keenan

BIG meal of grown vegs!

Sunday was the BIG day - the first of the potatoes and carrots I have ever grown. Three potaotes (one 2 1/2 inches, one 1 inch and one 1/2 inch) and one carrot measuring a whopping 1 inch!! Think I had better wait a few more weeks before pulling by Julie J
