    No, it`s not blight, it`s the plant telling you it`s time to be lifted. Enjoy.:dbgrtmb:

    It is NOT blight. Dig your spuds and enjoy, remove the tomato leaf and don`t worry about it. BUT, do NOT handle the spuds, then go and mess with the Toms without washing your hands. If you smoke ALWAYS wash your hands before touching Toms or Potatoes.:thumbsup:

    The tomato looks like copper deficiency which is a problem related to peaty soil. General fertiliser will bring it back but you need to get on it now !!
