The Savari Research Trust in Wales is crowdfunding its ongoing development of blight-resistant varieties of Sarpo potatoes. Quite why the Government in the shape of DEFRA doesn’t see fit to do this is a mystery to me, but in their absence we can all help this work by making a small donation (as little as £10) to a very worthwhile horticultural cause. Go to www.buzzbank.org and Explore Projects and you will find details.If blight is a problem in your garden Sarpo potatoes are the solution. They are available through Thompson & Morgan.
Just look at how well Sarpo perform compared to ordinary potatoes.
