Do I need to worry/panic!!

Being a newbie I really don't know what I am looking at. I am growing potatoes in containers (2 different types) One type has flowered and the flowers have died back. The leaves on one started to turn yellow then acquired brown patches. The other one just has a couple of brown patches. I have attached a picture (I hope), can someone tell me if this is just the leaves dying back or is it something far more sinister like blight?

Cheers

Sorry I just noticed there was a thread called "Is this blight" - can a moderator add this post to that thread?

Enjoy them with plenty of butter and chopped mint. Makes my mouth water!!

I rarely panic. So much so that I really have to wind myself into action to have even a tiny little worry! Enjoy your spuds!

I've had a little furtle, I can sure feel little spuds at the top. I was a pretty deep container I was amazed ay how much I was able to keep earthing up, I presume the ones at the bottom will be bigger. I have a few potatoes (supermarket ones) I need to eat first - then I'll be tipping one of the bags out!!

Thanks all
