    I think the amount of rainfall affected the tattie crops this year. I used bags for the second year running and had 4 good crops wi
    th no problems.

    If the skin was badly marked they likely have scab.
    I think this can be remedied by adding lime to the soil but a quick pole will tell you what you need to know
    My crop was smaller but better quality this year, funny but I just don't think the weather was onside this year :/
    Everyone is a genius,
    but if you judge a fish
    on its ability to climb a tree,
    it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.....
