We have a nice crop of very large potatoes, but unfortunately, there is some scab on our potatoes again. So next year we&#8217;ll have to move the potatoes out of our garden.

Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no treatment for scab. And, although you can still eat the potatoes, the skin is ugly and baked potatoes are kind of out.
