    I think a couple of my spuds have a mineral defiencey or maybe a virus. A couple of the plants have yellow on the leaves as in the photo attached.
    There fine and healthy apart from that.

    Looks like early stage blight - have you sprayed?

    Flip over the leaves and check for blight spots. Looks like nutrition or a virus from the top pic.

    95% it's a virus. Dont worry about it. Spuds get those things, but dosen't usually have any negative effect. Normally spread from leaf to leaf by aphids, thise small black crawly guys you see on spud stalks, and beans or peas in particular.
    Time to be watching the blight from now on however.
