Potato Blight

Dats_rite · 2023-08-09 12:43:57

Hi folks, First Time putting spuds in a raised bed. Planted in mid May and noticed half the crop leaning over today. Is it blight? If so do I just cut the stalks at the ground and hope I've caught it in time? Thanks

I don't know why, but potatoes were always earthed up here.

Looks like blight to me. Cut all the tops and get them out of the ground if they are still OK. Heavy humid day here today so perfect weather for further blight to travel
