Hello vegetable Newbie. I must be thick (or totally innocent). I saw the original comment but assumed it was repartee since a lot of joking goes on on this site. Apparently not!! Still, by now you will have realised that replies like the hurtful one are very rare. I am about to post my own question since some of these answers on blight have made me think of my own spuds in sacks. Best Wishes and welcome to the club. Sanjo
