lost 2 rows of potatoes on plot today. Gutted

They will come again so don't be too despondent. You will just have a later crop.

potatoes are black, grape busines look a bit pinched at the tops. One tomato plant in the greenhouse looks very sad. Hopefully they will recover

[Potstubsdustbins]

Local 5 day forecast shows nothing less than a minimum of 9C so lets hope things are starting to pick up.

My blackened leaves never recovered. Is it ok to just leave them on the plant or should i cut them off?

[chris]

I'd take them off, if there's other leaves on the plant. If they've been damaged, their photosynthesis abilities will be either reduced or destroyed - and also they could be a way for further disease to enter the plant.
