New Potato grower
« on: October 14, 2011, 10:09 »
Hello All,

I have decided this year to give winter Potato's a go! I am new to veg growing this year & am after all the help/advice i can get.

I have noticed this morning the stalks & leaves on my potato plants have gone darker in colour, drooped over & some have developed a white mould!! Now I had this with some of my tomatoes & i read it was due to watering patterns. Just abot worried if it has ruined them?

Please can you advise how I can stop this or get rid of it?

Thanks

Never grown winter pots, but am guessing it is some sort of mildew with this warmish, damp weather. I would spray with a fungicide and see what happens.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
