Been updating my Blog with recent developments on the plot, on the down side Blight, but it has not been all bad by any means:

Just hope I can get the spuds out of the ground in tact and that I get enough toms to give us our annual supply of dried, sauced, frozen, souped, etc.

Very interesting Jerry. It's unusual to get blight on indoor tomatoes. Are you spraying them as well as the outdoor? Are you spraying the Ferline too? I have this variety but none is ripe yet. Lots of lovely grub you've grown there.

Hi Jenny
Yes, this is the first year I have ever seen it inside. The plastic greenhouse in question is a few years old now and for the last couple of weeks I have had the door rolled up perminately so it is possible the spores blew into the house and it can get very humid in there.
Frustrating to say the least.
The house and outdoors plants have all been sprayed on the same days and frequency, including the Ferline. Fingers crossed they see OK at the moment and are starting to ripen, picked one so far.
Sungold have been by far the worst, Gardeners Delight not much better. At least Sungold is picking now and GD is are just about ripe though some of the fruit are effected.
