Have my Potato got blight ?

I think my early potatos have got blight, just double checking before I remove foliage. I was waiting for the tubers to get a little bit bigger before picking the rest.

    That definitely looks like blight I'm afraid. Be sure to get all the potatoes out of your plot to avoid re-infecting next season - double check for the sneaky little ones that try to remain behind. Best of luck Perki.

    Got my potatoes out and they look lovely, good size now for chips image . Not had blight before, must be the wet weather we've had late spring through summer.
