Here's the answer to your gardening question...

You asked:

Can I eat the tubers of blight-affected potatoes?

Our Advice:

Provided the disease has not spread to the tubers and they are sound with no internal staining or blemishes they should be safe to eat. Diseased tubers will start to rot very quickly during storage.
