I discovered today that about half my potato plants have shrivelled up and wilted. There is no sign of mould or rot just dry brown crispness. It seems to start with brown crispy patches on the leaves - but it doesn't look like blight. We had that last year. What is this and what should I do? I hope you can help.

I recently transplanted winter savoy cabbage plants grown from seed. Half of them have club root and are failing to thrive. What might be the problem and what can I do about it?

Hi Gerry, I have a couple of tomato plants growing outside on a small sheltered patio. They are producing a good crop of tomatos which are still green. Over the last few days I have noticed some leaves turning brown and yellowy and dying and also brown spots / stains on the fruit. Is this blight and if so, what can I do at this stage to fight it?
