    Me too Freddy.

    I'm snipping off affected bits every day. I'm also leaving all vents/doors open all the time, even over-night even though it's very cold. I think it's better to slow down Botrytis spreading by ventilating rather than keep the temperature up. It's a losing battle, if I can get them to the end of the month without the fruit being infected I'll be happy.

      Hiya John.
      In an attempt to get my toms to ripen, I've been keeping the G/H closed all the time. I always knew there was this risk. Ah well...

        That's a shame JWK and Freddy,you can almost 'smell' Botryis at this time of the year can't you:rolleyespink:...

        You've done well to get a crop @Freddy with having to start later:blue thumb:...

        All my plants have finished now but still enough toms around for a few more tomato sandwiches yet:dbgrtmb:

              Yep, my greenhouse also all cleared out now and given a good wash down. Amazing how much extra light there is without the algae lol

                  Don't think the 3rd one is gonna make it though.

                                I dont have the heat or the light another two months at least before I plant any

                                Does it work out cost effective ? planting and growing now
