Hi, y'all,
We planted potatoes (certified disease-free seed potatoes and all), planted
them where no solanum relations have ever been planted before, nor any
disease detected; they came up fine and strong and SO pretty--- and then
wilted down and died. No other obvious symptoms: no fuzzy fungus, no brown
spots. It's not drought, and as the beds are raised and the drainage very
good, I doubt it's over-watering.
Just wilted down and died.
What happened? What can we do? How can we prevent it from spreading to ALL
the potatoes? And the tomatoes and strawberries as well?
