I have just started harvesting my first ever potatoes - 2nd earlies
(Charlotte variety). They are fantastic and getting about 15 off each
plant. I have lost a couple of plants along the way - they have gone
yellow and wilted exactly as you describe. Had a look in 'Veg Expert'
book and symptoms don't match anything in there, but I guess it is a
disease, as they have all had the same amount of sun & watering.

Hi All,

I've just noticed one potatoe plant in the middle of one patch of my
tatties has suddenly gone yellow..... and possibly wilted a bit.

Any guesses as to what is wrong - and do I need to take any action?

It would be best to assume that the plant is sick, or it may have been
attacked by something underground. I would take it out before it
infected any other plants - there may be some edible tubers under it.
