Disease
BlightBrown patches on potato and tomato leaves
Brown patches that spread fast over leaves and stems in warm, wet weather. Tomatoes get brown, rotting patches too.
When it shows up: Midsummer to autumn, in warm, wet spells
What to do
Cut off affected leaves straight away and bin them, not the compost.
Potatoes: cut all the stems off at the ground, then lift the potatoes 2 to 3 weeks later.
Tomatoes: pick the healthy fruit now. It ripens fine indoors.
