Can you please help? We grew potatoes in our garden for the first time last year, following the full instructions, we grew mid. and lates. The mid were perfect, but the lates were covered with, according to our veg. shop owner, in scab. He told us he thought it was caused by not enough water ( it was very hot and dry last summer for over a month and then very wet for the next month) When it was very dry, we were watering like mad. so if you can give me any more advice We would be very glad.
Yours. Catriona and Vic.
