    My Pentland Javelin earlies were going well, earthed up, and when they came through again ... noticed some 'blotching' on the leaves of some plants. pics below ...
    Is this anything to worry about, and anything I need to treat.

    Probably just some physical damage caused by earthing up, I wouldn't worry providing the new growth is OK.

    My leaves have developed tiny brown speckles after the caterpillar attack; I doubt they are related but synchronous.
