Sorry not sure what this means but from what I understand of the post are you concerned that your potato plants are done for? If it's only a light frost it is likely that the growth (if its above soil level) will be affected and development set back but the actual seed should be OK. A heavier frost would be more fatal but make sure you tuck them up at night for now

saw my babies, Alison, space bar has to be smashed lol, onits way out .

Thanks, i was hoping id get that answer and they will certainly be tucked in properly from now on, at least untill the frost goes back to bed .

They often re bounce, so definitely worth trying. I had some badly hit that had grown by themselves, we have a light frost and a week later new little buds were growing at the sides of the old leaves. Like tomato side shoots.
