Hi! Please can someone more experienced than myself advise what’s upsetting my potatoes? I can’t see any white mildew on the leaves.. there is the odd aphid/whitefly on the underside

    If you're in England the tops will be dying down now ready to harvest the tubers soon, if your somewhere else I dunno!

    Age, the tops are just finished, you could have a spot of blight there on the edges but by this stage it doesn't matter at all, if you are worried chop the tops off and wait 2 weeks before digging. If you want to eat the potatoes straight away and not store them you don't need to wait.
