Our potatoes have it for sure. What’s the thinking on the spuds below? Is anything edible if it’s there? Have taken off leaves but haven’t had the inclination to dig up yet cos a bit gutted they’ve not done well.

For late blight, removing and burning the offending leaves and haulms before they spread into the potatoes is the method I've been told, then if you're worried about the spuds you can store them in sand in case any of them start rotting. The old boys up here who know all the tricks are cutting back the haulms. Not sure about early blight but I don't think its as serious.

Seems to be quite a lot of it about on the spuds on our plots. Folks whose potatoes normally look flawless are have cut all the haulms back.
