Sorry about this one.
I've read some/a lot of the other posts on blight and the more I read the more confused I get. So a couple of "simple" questions;
1. Is it blight?
2. What do I do right now?
3. What do/can I do next week, next year, apart from rotate?
4. Do I have to inform anyone?
The red pot's with the weird spots were Red Duke of York, they went the quickest. The other two are/were Cara and International Kidney. I'm guessing the absolutely crap weather recently has played a big part in the demise of the crop, but, hay ho what can you do??????????????????.

cut all the tops off and leave the potatoes underground for a couple of weeks before lifting. The blight spores on the surface should then be dead when you lift them, so you can store them.
