Title: Spud problem
Post by: Bodger on April 23, 2013, 03:54:24 pm
They looked fine until I looked at them a bit closer.

On closer inspection, I could see that there was some leaf curl and droop.

Any ideas?
 
I've cut a lot of greenery off but the problem really is quite extensive. There are raises lumps all over the leaves.Its hard to say whether or not they are some sort of egg because whatever it is, appears to be in the leaf itself. I'll continue to cut the affected leaves off but some of the plants could end up with what effectively would be a Yule Brynner hair cut.
