Chop or Leave

Morning all...the spuds in the containers have one of the fungal infections, I can't remember the name, but @Dovefromabove mentioned it on another thread, anyhoo the spuds were planted 10 weeks ago so not really ready yet, so would you just leave them until they totally flop or would you chop off the foliage of the worst affected?

    Septoria leaf spot?
     I think I’d remove the worst 
    foliage and keep the plants going for a few more weeks if possible. 🤞

    That's the one @Dovefromabove at least it looks like it, more so than blight anyway, I will chop the worst and hopefully they will go for a few more weeks.

    I'm going to empty a container today to see what stage they're at, hopefully they'll be big enough to boil for a salad 🥗

    Cheers me dears 🙂
