> Ive been told that the tops are not the problem when you have blight/Potatoes that are left in the ground over winter spread the blight.
I think this is true about potatoes in the ground. However, I've read that the fungus can survive over-winter in the tops so they either need to be buried deep or burned. These were almost all Kennebecs and they did well at producing despite the blight, but it did end up killing every plant except for about 3 plants which seemed immune. The tomatoes are what got hit the hardest. I only managed to put about 12 qt in the freezer. After I burn my tomato plants and get the potatoes out of the ground, I'm going to till the whole garden too. Not sure if that will do any good, but anything I can do to reduce the chance of carry-over, I'll do. I sure don't want to stop growing potatoes and tomatoes to get rid of it.
