Is It Blight?

[1Bee]

So what do we think?

Lol Nick. I take my potatoes personally...

If it is, it's the Charlottes.

So this girl Charlotte has got it as well ? turning in to an epidemic ;-)

I'm known as the 'cry wolf' blight guy on my plot... I reckon we're on the cusp of it starting - who will be first for 2018 - photos of fungus and chopped hallums before I adjudicate.

(I only grow first earlies now - plot is a blight hot spot)

Perhaps you ought to consult your GP ? - really I don't think any of us have sufficient medical knowledge to deal with human blight. :-)

(Sorry - couldn't resist)

Ugh. I've got a horrible feeling I've got it... Will take pics tomorrow.

Just a matter of time perhaps????

Hopefully not, but I thought I'd pull up this thread for peeps to check out their leaves

Some of the pictures are missing /lost during an upgrade, but there should be enough left for a comparison...but there is loads and loads of brill advice in this thread!

I don't think that is blight either. Spots don't look right for early blight (Target Spot) nor for late blight.

As you are already cropping them I wouldn't worry about it.

I do think it's a deficiency rather than blight... but a few other blogs have pictures like this and are calling it blight, which I think is wrong.

Every time I think I'm confident I can spot blight, something else crops up and I start doubting it....!

I don't think it's blight is it a potassium deficiency?

What do we think? This is on the Charlottes, planted end March, and producing some lovely tatties right now. The Roosters in the same bed are looking fine.

One of mine looks the same-

I agree that's nothing to worry about!

I don't think that's blight, Jay22. I reckon it's scorch marks. Could even caused by a dog cocking his leg up against the plant. I know as one of our dogs tends to do that from time to time... Fortunately, he never gets the fruit.

I hope so,hopefully they'll stop attention seeking & be green from now on!
