Woo hoo - it worked!  Thanks Ice! 

There was a lot more yellowing on the leaves I removed the other day - this is what's left... I've also noticed that the flower buds tucked into the growing tip are yellowing and dropping off....

Not sure what it is but it doesn't look like early blight to me.

oh!  Now you've got me thinking...... :(

Those young tomato plants I destroyed were very similarly marked - no-one seemed to be able to identify what it could be on them.....

IainJBA has said there's a lot around which looks like early blight but isn't necessarily so when tested.  he suggested trying epsom salts spray before being drastic and ripping plants out for fear of blight
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I did wonder about that after I had got rid of the tomatoes - and they were bought on in the same compost that the potatoes are in - which was just  a garden centre special....

All my other seeds and young plants have done well in it, is magnesium deficiency something common to spuds and toms then (I s'pose they are cousins after all!)?

Anyone tried baking soda as a treatment for blight ?

oldbean said...."It won't matter soon, Mancozeb is on the list of chemicals to be "restricted" under EU legislation in 2009."

Soon using soil will be restricted and need specialist training due to high level of virus / fungus and other nasty things!!  :tongue2:

We could all be gardening in breathing-masks and fully zippable outfits...  :(

Could catch on  ::)

Theyll be formally linking toms and spuds with the risk of deadly nightshade and we'll need a license to grow those too  :D
