Hi all,

I'm 90% sure this is but general verdict is this blight?

Thanks

Matt

I can't see a 'halo' effect around the spots, which is what you usually expect from blight, but I can't say for sure that it's not.  See what others think.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Ok I have about 50 or so potato plants and 75% have this on them and I didn't notice it yesterday.

So whatever it is is spreading fast.

Why not compare them with the pictures in the main blight thread

Aunt Sally suggests that the last pic is Target Spot, which is less sinister?

I noticed some of my Lady Balfour look like that yesterday but was unsure. I had a look around our site & nobody else has blight, I'm in the middle so would expect others to get it before me, or is that me being hopeful?

My early potatoes developed yellow and brown leafs and dropped foliage like flies, the second are on their way and there is a small area in the main crop which have flowered and developed fruit! Didn't get that last year

So I cut all the foliage off and dug some up to look at and I have healthy new potatoes with some the size of main crop! Could just be they are coming to the end of the run.
