The wet 'summer' seemed a relief as watering is a problem, with no tap nearby, however I have now learnt, from experience, about potato blight. It seems the continuous wet weather is idea for the growth of the culpable fungus Phytophthora infestans often commonly called 'Late Blight'. Apparently the spores can be seen under a microscope and are easily differentiated from Alternaria solani (early blight).
