Blight Resistant Tomatoes
I have never had blight in the greenhouse like I have had this year. With the very late season and poor cropping it has hardly been worth the time and effort.

Thanks for the advice. As recommended, I gave the pots a good soaking and then carefully peeled them off. Three days on, I have very happy tomato plants that are just starting to flower

What should I do with this wonky apple tree?
Most gardens will have another apple nearby so pollination isn’t usually a worry, unless you are on an estate of new builds with few trees. Crab apples can also act as pollinators for apple trees

A question about cloches and strawberries
If it has to be done, I agree with @Adam I keep as much root and soil as possible and reduce the large leaves - a good water and out of full sun for a while until you think it's settled.

How does everything look?
Looks good - my general suggestion would be to wait for the plants to get established and do their thing - maybe try to curb the impulses to keep adding feed or nip bits off or pull plants up...
