We have blight on the spuds, and a few have it on the tomatos....although mine seem to be ok.

No blight here yet in South East Shrophire!

Now arrived in Eastbourne.
We've spent the morning stripping over 5 kilos of Toms, hoping they will ripen under newspaper in the conservatory.

I've lost three tomatoe plants they were at the bottom of the plot but I moved them two weeks ago to half way up the plot and three days later they got blight. I moved two bush tomatoe plants out of the polytunnel at the same time and now I cant put them back in case I introduce blight into the tunnel.I am thinking I might not do toms next year as I had about 20 tom plant t the beginning of the year and now I only have half as many and they are all looking sick.

No blight on my tomatoes here in Bucks (fingers crossed) but after last year's epidemic I have sprayed mine so am hoping that they will stay blight free, despite all the wet weather.
WestHam Ron - we spent last week in Eastbourne so hope we haven't brought your blight back with us !!

Well the blight has had all thirty of my tomato plants for the third year running, and am i down, not a bit of it, just the challenge of nature.

OH Sorry to hear about your tomatoes, and how well you are taken it, have you lots more plants tucked away safely, no blight here in the West Midlands so far thank the good Lord.

Dear Bren, i do have my greenhouse tomatoes so i will not be without, but thank you for your concern.

So glad that the West Midlands is still blight free.

Talking about tomatoes OH and others!

My greenhouse ones have had a very poor crop this year and a poor taste, lack of sun ?

looks like the summer is over for us, unlike the Med. they are hogging all the sunshine!

Dear Lurganspade, the Indian summer will start Saturday, so hopefully this will put a bit of taste back into your Tomatoes.
