What is wrong with my potatos

Brooke, like was said, potatoes and tomatoes share a lot of misery. I always recommend folks should do "preventative" spraying/dusting to prevent the bugs and fungi from getting a foothold in your garden. Once they get in there, the damage is always much worse, and the repair/recovery of the plants is always much harder.

Looks like you used something like Sevin Dust. Get a good fungicide and coat the leaves. It may at least slow down the processes of the damaging agent. Personally, I use Garden Safe as a Preventative spraying on all my garden. Pretty soon, the Japanese Beetles will arrive. I try to be ready for them.

If you wait for symptoms to appear, it is usually already too late. I started this regimen when I lived in Buford, GA.

Hope this helps.
