Eight Pontiac Red Potatoes were harvested. The vegetation has died off. All the potatoes were a good size. The average production was 2 kilograms per plant. Sixteen kg were placed in the root cellar and a few culls were set aside for immediate use.

Glad to see the blight didn't get your spuds.
The only potatoes I now have in the ground are Sarpo Mira, blight-resistant potatoes.

Two potatoes has some suspicious black spots. Time will tell. It is asking too much to avoid contamination on the potatoes that are within touching distance.

Isolate them; if they have the blight they'll go to mush, taking the rest with them.
