Potatoes
« on: August 10, 2012, 10:14 »
I am new to gardening this year & have had good luck with tomatoes, runner and broad beans, and courgettes. However, my potatoes are looking very sad.
Do I have the dreaded potatoe blight &, if so, what should I do?

Sad potatotes could be blight or could be just feeling a bit depressed about the weather this year.

How sad are they looking?  How do the stems and leaves look? - any odd colours, visible damage, etc?


(in the absence of the psychic hat, more information is needed for a diagnosis)
