parts of the tops being brownish & crispy.Is this the cause of frost &

Thanks Keith,Nottingham,England,UK.


Yes, we had a frost around these parts last week (I live near Melton
Mowbray) so that's what's happened to your spuds.

They should be OK - there will be plenty of shoots underground if you've
been earthing up. In any case, probably only some of the leaves have been
damaged.
