I am growing Setanta. The foliage is still abundant and green with just the odd few leaves affected by blight which I remove. I would normally hang on until the second week of September whilst keeping a beady eye on them. However I am away from home for the first week in September. Can I risk leaving them unattended until the second week of September or should I play safe and cut down the haulms before I go?

I would suggest cutting the halms off as the pots probably won't grow any more and they shouldn't have the risk of getting blight.

Too many reports of blight this year to take the risk in my opinion.  Cut them down.
