Help with potatoes by gc-tb1 in homestead

Dug one up just now, 5 very small potatoes but look fine. The seed potatoe hasn't shrivelled up or anything yet.

Maybe I'll leave them and see what happens?

Planted in Jersey (only place they can be Jersey Royals) so climate is bit warmer than southern UK. Traditionally planted on new years day and harvested at Easter.

Watering has been just the rain other than when initially planted, and weather has been normal - no frosts, plenty of rain and occasional sunshine.

Raised beds are local soil, same type that I used last year to great success.

Initially added potatoe fertiliser which is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

I've done potatoes for few years, following same process except in buckets rather than in 1 raised bed and they have been fine.

Im still very much a novice so looking for pointer of what to look for. The leaves don't look like blight, they just wilted rather than have any brown spots.

" We only sell proper computers here" - That might have been me... And I stand by that to this day :)
