spots on spuds

Thanks for all the advice, i am still alive and for the record the potatoes were the best i have tasted for a long long time, must be something to do with going rapidly from soil to pot!! Looking forward to more!

Sorry I seem to have confused you!!

It is the whole plant that has gone yellow, and yes I left the spuds to dry but they still have spots... I am planning on cooking them for tea so I may be dead tomorrow...

I thought it may be a wireworm, but it seems too flat and has lots of legs!!

Hi, help please...

My potato plants have gone yellow and look like they are dying, I dug up a few and the base of the green bit is discoloured and has nothing on it, the few tubers I found have very small white spots on them.

What am I dealing with?

hi,

I have been digging on my allotment and found lots of flatish orangey wormlike beasties in the soil. What are they,do they cause damage and how do I get rid of them?
