Been down to the plot today as I do every day, decided to check up on my early patatoes
I planted 3 different types, pentland javlin, swift and casablanca, some of the swift look like they are dying so I lifted 4 that looked the worst, most had patatoes on the root but all where bad I finnished up lifting about 7 all apart from 1 where disappointing I got a total of adout 15 edible spuds, the javlin and casablanca look far more healthy so I am hoping all is not lost, I will not be sowing swift again even the edible ones do not look that appetising

When you say "all were bad" - rotten? tiny? slug-eaten?

All rotten some had holes that I think where slugs some had splits some rotten at one end, but it was the colour of the tops that started me digging some up they where going yellow the others look really healthy its just the swifts
