henriette Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 At least half of my potato plant leaves have gone black, over night. Does anyone know what this might be. I reckon it could be frost damage, but I'm not sure. Have tried to find out on various sites online, but nothing really definite has come up. I wonder if the tubers themselves will be damaged too.

Snowy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 It does sound like frost damage. Happened to mine last year. It was just the tops of the plants, they recovered and the tubers were fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
