There are a couple of other threads about this problem. You are not alone. LJ posted a link to a site which would suggest it is called Bacterial Speck. I'll try to find the thread again.Bright Blessings

I posted this on my own thread about the same problem - but thought i'd update anyone on here who won't see the other one (??)
anyway:
I took a sample of the potato leaves to the RHS Wisley yesterday (i work nearby) and they said loads of people have had this!
It is a physiological condition caused by the very heavy rain we have had, followed by the cold nights (and even frost for some). It won't spread and is not bacterial/fungal/nutritional or otherwise. Tomatoes have also been affected although the symptoms are slightly different - the spots appear more translucent than brown. Same thing though.
Hope this helps everyone who was worriedThere's vegetable growing in the family, but I must be adopted
Happy Gardening!
