Is it too early for Potato blight?
I've never had a problem with it before so don't really know what to look for and I'm kinda thinking my problem is more to do with a mould but could it be blight?
It's mainly the younger plants that aren't in flower that are suffering. The stems seems to have gone soft and rotten looking all over the from top to bottom in various different places and there is what looks like Botrytis mould on some of the leaves.
I'm assuming all the rain and the warm conditions has caused it despite the fact that wind has kept them well ventilated.
I've cut them right back and they seem to be shooting back up and then any odd mouldy leaf I find I cut out.
Does this sound like Blight or just Botrytis????
