After a month of wet weather, the potatoes don't look great.
Although there is very little sign of blight on the leaves, many of the stems are stripped bare. There was blight in the area earlier in the month (when we were on holidays), which would have affected the growth, but the leaves appear to have been eaten as well. It seems that it has not been a great year for potatoes in many part of the country.
We dug up a few of the plants and found a reasonable crop of potatoes, none of which have been eaten by slugs as we had expected given the wet weather.
