I've had blight last year and the year before. No yellowing, just a
very rapid blackening of the green. Check www.potatogrowers.com to see
if there is blight in your area at the moment. We haven't had any for
over a month now in the East Midlands. My _guess_ (without seeing your
crop) is that you are right and he is wrong - but then, so might I be!
If it is
blight, what do we do now?
remove the haulms (tops) now and burn them. Leave the tubers alone for
a week before harvesting.
