Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

Hi all,
I just happened to be at the pub after the parish council meeting last night. Had a chat with our local potato farmer, told him all my potatoes were frost damaged. He said, don't be worrying about it, they'll still come through, just a little later than you would have normally be harvesting. Many commercial growers with 50 acres+ of potatoes can't afford to fleece the crop, they just cope with the weather as it comes!
Has put my mind at rest at least, if only for a short while until I realise I may have bought him a pint just to be fobbed off!

Some of ours have caught the frost but not all-pentland Javelin in a mixed row seem ok!! Should I cut the blackened leaves off the rest or just leave them?
I'm hoping that all is not lost-seems to be a chance from reading these posts that they can now re-shoot!

When mine have been frosted in previous years, I have never bothered taking the blackened leaves off them.
Going back to TheBeekeepers analogy, I don't think you'd see a farmer do it on 50 acres of spuds"Orinoco was a fat lazy Womble"

I have had frost damage on my fleeced potatoes in the garden. It will set them back abit but I will still get a crop from them. It has just been a backwards year so far.
