Blight is an issue right now,both domestically and nationally too. The potatoes coming from shops are far from the best,and that’s an understatement! It’s rather interesting that the self setting spuds in our heaps are doing ok right now though.Looking at news Mrs J has made sure we have tinned spu...

Thanks. Blightspy seems to say it shouldn't be blight YET https://blightspy.huttonltd.com/#/forecast I'll monitor the situation and report back. OK..... So Who likes spuds? Or more specifically what critter has been chowing down on the foliage of my spud plants. About 1/3 of crop growing just fine ...

Had to use the superglue out of my emergency grab bag. Was having to squeeze loads to get a drop out. Is it supposed to be like that? It was a hard plastic bottle. I've found that superglue has a definite shelf life. This probably varies between brands and on storage temperature, and the adhesive t...

Regarding protein, my existing long - term source is tinned sardines (last for years); I don't eat meat. I need to figure out how I'm going to integrate dried eggs (and poss...

Flour is an essential prep, but I only use about 1.5Kg per year. Very occasionally I run out of bread and make a sort of bread out of self - raising flour, vegetable oil and water. I make the dough and grill both sides. It ends up like flattish cakes, and if a generous amount of mixed fruit, as use...

I am not convinced that is blight. I can't seen anything "fungal fluffy growth" and I have always seen at least a little of that with a bad/collapsed plant. All about blight here with pics. https://horticulture.co.uk/potatoes/blight/ While this is frost damage https://www.allotments4all.c...
