Went down to the lottie this morning and found all my potatoes had been hit by yesterdays frost
Most of the leaves are black especially my maincrop which have only just come through, do I leave the blackened leaves on  :?:

[DD.]

Rightly or wrongtly, I'm just going to leave mine on to dry off naturally, rather than cut or pull away.

The tubers should still manage to send up fresh shoots.

[Leapyear]

What would you all suggest :!:  leave them to recover or take off the blakened stems  :?:

[Aunt Sally]

I think I'd take DD's advice and don't touch,  you could introduce disease into broken stems.  

I think DD's been growing spuds for more than a year or two

Yeah like Aunt Sally and DD. say leave alone, nature will sort it out  

[Leapyear]

Thanks everyone

Will do as DD suggests

Could this be what is wrong with mine.  They're sort of different shades of yellow-brown-black?

Thanks

Could well be Lee. Whereabouts are you? - would be useful if you could pop it in your profile.

[lee79]

I'm in Sheffield.
Just updated the location DD.

As you're not basking in the tropical south, it's quite likely you've got 'a touch of frost', although not all northern areas had it.

Thanks DD.  I will keep an eye on them.
