Was just about to post the same Mum, especially looking at the pictures on the right.

Early blight is not as serious as late blight, although if it affects many leaves the size of the crop can be affected.

Slight chance it could also be magnesium deficiency - you could try watering with Epsom salts to be on the safe side (about a tablespoonful per gallon) - it won't hurt them either way

The photo on the left could be early blight. The golden rule to distinguish early from late is that early blight never crosses a leaf vein, whereas late blight does.

The photo on the right is classic magnesium deficiency. Like yellow fingers between the veins which go dark brown. You will not cure those with Epsom salts now but it will keep other leaves green. Looking again it could be suffering from early blight as well.

Magnesium deficiency usually appears on older bottom leaves.

Thanks for all the advice and the link from mumofstig , I learned something new today. I didn't know the difference between early blight and late bright, now I know. I did remove all the problem leaves.
In the last 2 years ,none of us got any tomatoes due to the blight and I hope this year will be ok.

Have had a little early blight but lesions today definitely crossing a leaf vein 

[mumofstig]

Of course keep an eye on it, but Blightwatch has still only confirmed 2 cases to date, 1 in Scotland and 1 in Kent.....

[Grubbypaws]

That is reassuring but it definitely looks worse than the early blight. All leaves now picked and burnt. I will keep an eye on things and send a picture if it progresses.

My spuds have been looking ropey for a few weeks now and I have been told by a couple of other plot holders that they have blight.  Early blight maybe, but they have not collapsed in days, which is what happens with blight proper.

The same people have sent at least one plot holder into a frantic digging up session.  I dug a whole bag of lovely clean Charlottes up at the weekend, but the rest of the rows are still in and still looking ropey.   She was a bit pig sick she had panicked with hers

i see theres blight in margate kent....maybe get the spray out tomorrow  what do yoy think

[Fairy Plotmother]

I sprayed my tomatoes today. Conditions are perfect for blight!😟

[mumofstig]

Unless there's blight near you, there's really not much point in spraying.

As posted above there's only 1 confirmed case of blight so far.

Have you registered with Blightwatch, so they can email you if there's a Smith period in your area?

[missmoneypenny]

sprayed my toms with Bordeaux mix about 1 week ago. Can't handle the heartache of seeing my lovelies wiped out in days.
Sprayed last year twice and got a bumper crop. No blight, maybe a couple of suspicious looking lesions towards the end of the season.

[mumofstig]

One more confirmed case now - on the Isle of Wight.

[mumofstig]

Today the only cases of blight are in AB 30 postcode Aberdeen area, KA6 postcode Ayr area, CT12 postcode Margate area and PO30 postcode the Isle of Wight.

So unless you live nearby there's no need to panic 


Up to date I've not had any Smith period warnings, either. So far so good!

[DD.]

Nothing received here, either.

The map is as spot free as I can ever remember. I think there's a bit of unnecessary panicking at the moment.

Smiths Period alert notified in this area this morning.
