We were really looking forward to our first crop. I understand the tubers don’t form until daylight < 12hrs so thought it best to move our 5 50litre pots from poly tunnel to greenhouse in advance of frosts. The vines looked as though they needed watering but on inspection every single stem had been eaten through and a few holes dug.
Now, we learn to tolerate sharing the fruits of our labours, but this is sheer vandalism as the crop hadn’t grown!
So, any other growers, go and build defences, NOW.
Maybe I could take cuttings from the vines to start next years attempts?
