    It is way too early for Potato blight but at least half my potatoes now look like the below image. Could it be a weather problem e.g. sun scorch or frost (I don’t think we have had frost though)? I am on the border of London and Kent if that helps at all…
    Is it a disease? pest? and any ideas on what to do about it?
    Thanks!

    Talia this looks like frost.
    It does not kill the plants but singes/damages leaves, and will happen again this week, perhaps for the last time.
    Fleece cover helps but is not total protection, depending how cold.
