Potato Leave Rotting
« on: June 08, 2010, 14:51 »
Can anyone give me some advice?
1st year I have started growing my own apart from tomatoes; my 2nd early potatoes have started to lose their leaves, they have gone black in parts and the leaves are falling off, is this a disease or am I doing something wrong? They haven't started to flower yet and were looking ok until today.

Thank you

Is this happening to every plant?

I have 4 plants in the same tub and yes all 4 are effected, I do have some 1st earlies and main crop in another part of the garden and they are ok.

Might it be bruising from wind or hail?
