I just went to check on my garden and saw this on one row or my potatos! I had not checked them in a couple of days as it has been wet, but just saw this! It appears to be even over the whole row, but not on the other row which are russets. (These are reds, I forget what exact ones.)

Dang... it is starting to look like my fears. Does this look like late blight to anyone else??

FWIW: I dug up a couple plants on the end and the taters lookd perfect and crisp. Although, it may not of had time to get below?
:(

Could it be that they are dying off naturally? Mine are in the same process right now...losing color, getting brown edges to leaves, etc.

It happened fast, within days. Plus the row right next to it is fine, however not the same style. The plants I pulled up had plenty baby new taters just starting to grow too.

I don't quite think it's normal to be honest, I got them in late too.
