    My alert from blightwatch came too late, all my outdoor tomatoes are infected, late spuds too, starting to get dark now so I'll be burning masses of unripe tomatoes shortly.

    Greenhouse seems unaffected so far so not all lost :(

    Sprayed mine with Dithane today.

    No sign of blight yet but if the weather carries on like it has for the last few days its only a matter of time.

    Ziggy I think we must be the only country in the world that would consider making chutney out of green toms.
    I must admit I've never tried the stuff, but without masses of sugar it must be like eating battery acid.:D

      been spraying mine with Bordeaux mix for a few weeks now. Shame you've lost yours Vince, it would be worthwhile spraying your inside toms just in case.

      Is a bonfire a good way to dispose of garden waste?
