Just a question really.

Is something going on with potatoes?

So, maybe I’m being a little bit weird. But, has anyone else noticed that a lot of the potatoes you cut into are rotten in the middle?

Perfectly fine on the outside, I even peeled this one without a clue something was off. Then you cut it open and there’s a rotten void in the middle.

This was the fifth one in this bag that was blighted.

The last six bags I have purchased have all had blighted potatoes in them.

The number per bag seems to be increasing over time.

So I ask, “Is something going on with potatoes”?

Because, before this Spring, this happened maybe once in a whole year.

If there is a potato blight emerging, the situation will get much worse. Very fast.

Anyone know anything about this?

Or are my “spidey senses” tingling for no reason.
