Hi Deb, if the potatoes are a first early or second early then you will be able to harvest the spuds after a few weeks. What variety are you growing?

You can get blight resistant varieties of both potatoes and tomatoes now. Sarpo Mira, Sarpo Axona, Lady Balfour and Valor are all blight resistant potato varieties and Ferline, Legend and Fantasio, a beefsteak tomato are all blight resistant tomato varieties. I have had great success and fabulous harvests from Ferline.

Good luck Deb!
