blight - the fightback

Hey there,

as you are aware blight has devesated our tomatoes and has killed the majority of the plants, however cutting the dead material out and allowing new growth to form has rescued the day. As we picked the first sucessful fruits.

As you can see there is a lot of blight still there but its not spreading and eadible fruits are beginning to be plentiful.

Other news this week is, the magnitude of pumpkins, onion harvests, a major weed, and continued harvests.

Good luck with the fight!

 

Lost ours too - and it was the first year for veggie growing. Really pleased you have managed to save some Ruffmeister.

While out walking yesterday only saw one garden with tomato plants in - and they looked quite pathetic. If you knew how much the French grow in their gardens you would understand how not seeing any tomato plants is a catastrophe here. We'll be buying them on the black market
