Default South East Potatoes

Hi All

I have brought the potato tubs from suttons and planted the potatoes out
about 2-3 weeks ago. I have them covered up with fleece at the moment and a
couple of the tubs have little shoots showing. Thing is, and I know this is
probably silly, but I dont want to keep them covered with fleece as it gets
rather warm in the pots and am worried that it may spark potato blight (as
of the humidity and dampness)... If I was to leave them uncovered and we
got a light frost (one forecasted possibly tonight), as long as I cover the
shoots completely, should they be ok?

Any advice welcome...

Donna
