My taters are dying:(

[junkyardcat]

I planted a whole row and potatoes and they were doing really well, but all
of a sudden, just when they were starting to flower, the leaves are turning
yellow and the planst are dying:( Any idea what could be causing this? I can
see spots on some of the leaves, but not on all of them. Is it too late to
save them?

Thanks!

Where are you? Sounds like they're doing what they're supposed to do,
they flower, turn yellow, die, then you harvest the potatoes. Kinda
early, though, unless you're in a very warm climate.
