thank you gobs
do u think my whole crop will get it now? or can i save it by destroying the affected leaveS?

If you kill the foliage in situ - like vinegar spray is recommended by the pot council - you are least likely to spread the spores about, but can cut off and burn, too, leave for 2 weeks, and dig spuds up then. In latter case, you are better off, cutting the whole lot, not just those showing signs.

Also consider it for the better good as KE is rather prone to it.
