Potato Blight
Despite the heat and rain we have not had a warning from the Blightwatch website of a 'Smiths period' when Blight is most likely.
The nearest confirmed infected sites, as at 17th July, are near Yeovil and well beyond Southampton.
However, it is suggested you take all precautions as once it strikes there is no cure.
