     i have no idea about potatoes other than some vague   
   knowledge.   
      
     have you grown potatoes in that same space before?   
   do you rotate your plantings to avoid diseases being   
   able to persist?   
      
     has it been hot and dry or wet and cool or ?   
      
     did you apply compost or use some other amendments   
   or fertilizers or sprays?   
      
     it has been rather dry here, if i'd not been able to   
   water i'd not have much of a garden at all right now.
