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.

Not all people who have it report it. Someone from Wales on another forum has posted pictures of late blight on their PFA.

In a greenhouse or outside?

More likely Botrytis in a greenhouse.......

There is no confirmed blight in your area, according to Blightwatch  :unsure:

Hes a very experienced grower MOS so I have no need to doubt him, we talked about cross contamination but he said that he steam cleaned the green house then treated with Jeyes fluid, the same with any containers/pots/buckets etc and he used fresh good quality compost and we agreed that there was little more he could have done, he is pretty gutted and thinks this will be his last year with tomatoes, such a shame, Dave

Full Smith alert in TW9 & TW10 received today from Blight alert.  However all looking okay at the allotment this morning and perhaps if we have a dry week-end it will go away.....
