Mr Ms plot not failed much better. The one crop we can normally count on, potatoes, have a disorder which I think is black heart. Never had this before. Its caused by low oxygen availability to the tubers. Caused by extreme temperatures. Tuber look perfect on the outside but quickly go soft after harvest. When you cut them you see a core area of necrosis. That and bud drop on fruit and beans has really reduced harvests. It's going to be a mean year. Any advice greatly appreciated. #allotments
