Hi all,
I had the late blight in my garden this summer, which wrecked my potatoes. I tore out and burned my potato plants, and did my darndest to dig out all the spuds. Now I'm planning for next year's garden, and I was hoping for a little advice from you all.
Last summer I grew white superiors, which died like dogs when they caught the blight. Are there any blight resistant types of potatoes? And does anybody know where I could buy some?
I plan to locate the potatoes in a different part of the garden. I figure the location of last year's potatoes might be "contaminated". So I was thinking that I'd plant carrots and radishes -- which seemed to be unaffected by the blight -- in that location. Does that sound right?
Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas to you all.
