It seems that the seed potatoes which I bought for my allotment from the allotment association shop may have a virus
I am not the only one with this particular problem - the leaves of the plants seemed to be 'stunted'. This is happening to three different types of my potatoes so far but is quite odd that not all plants are affected and some much worse than others
The rocket potatoes were until yesterday under fleece and when I removed it I just put the deformed leaves down to the fact they were possibly outgrowing the fleece covering but having seen other peoples plants on their plots it doesn't seem to be the case.
Some samples were sent off today to the supplier, so hopefully may have an indication whats going on soon.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Tattieman, if you are out there, I would be really grateful of your opinion on this
