They had already sprouted Morgana , they were in the bottom of the veg rack. Perhaps I'll try again next year -this was my first attempt so there is plenty of room for improvement -lol

Yes there is, thats how we all learn shame though, if you are going to buy seed potatoes next year or early ones buy the blight resistant ones. They have a new variety comming out .

OK I will Morgana -I know a lot of people who have had trouble with blight this year - luckily pots were OK even though only about ten of them in all!
