frost turned my potatoes black what do i do

1 Answer

Answer :

No need to dig them up, potato's are remarkably hardy.  The reason that the leaves turned black was the freezing of the liquid inside the leaves; the plant will eventually grow new leaves, you should see the sprouting of new leaves in about 2 weeks or so.  -Birdy
