Help! These are two bags of my "earlies" one bag has completely lost all foliage, the other has lost some leaves and othr leaves look eaten. What's happening?? Other bags are ok so far. How can I protect from the same thing????

Think there are some beetles that eat potato leaves but I'm not sure!

I'd have a look inside as the tatties might be ready (quite a few on here have been harvested including 'Monty')

Um. I looked. There is nothing there....nothing at all. Wondering if some one has taken my tatties?

Pressed post by mistake. Apparently lots of spuds have not come to anything. It's the poor mixed up weather we had in spring. Ie cold hot wet hot wet hot cold.....Have caused lots of probs with spuds on allotments.
