Thanks for the warning Robert, where did you get your warning from and what is 'Full Smith Period'?

Thank you Robert, I have now registered and signed up for alerts.
I am not currently growing potatoes but may do next year. As I understand it both potato and tomato blight are the same thing.
The next door neighbour is growing potatoes right next to my tomatoes and I know that this is not good practice. So it is in my interests to keep an eye on the situation as I know that he is not on the Internet and did have potato blight last year.

Seems the best advise is to keep toms and pots spaced at least 4 feet apart..Not easy on my little plot ! |
