Thank you for the link...... I researched the condition on various site including this one before I posted on here but I was really after a little assurance that the rest of my crop will be ok (after such hard work), this is only my second year growing potatoes and knew there must be more experienced gardeners out there with some stories to tell...

Always grateful for any advice xx

Hey jude,  Thats brilliant! I hope mine will be ok then. I went into a panic this morning when I saw the yellow plant ...... I am sure it was ok yesterday!!

 learning something every day, thanks!!

Sorry to hear you also have fallen victum to blackleg sollway cropper, on closer inspection of my Anya potato plants I fear the whole lot may be infected, thats 18 plants (ouch!!), think I may need to put a brave face on and consider removing the lot before they infect the others....will have another look tomorrow.
