I went out this morning, as I do every morning, to check my toms, sweetcorn and everything else, and I was greeted with this!

potato blight.

How in the hell did my Toms get potato blight?!?

[pushrod]

wind born fungal infection, prevalent under certain weather conditions. Are they outside?

some info HERE

[Riala]

Yes, against the kitchen wall right by my front door... first time growing them as well.

Do I have to throw both plants away that are in that planter, or just pick off the bad fruit?

[pushrod]

Have added info link to previous post.
throw the whole plants away  - do not compost them.
I gave up growing toms outside because of blight and now only have them in a greenhouse.

edit : i didn't find that Ferline was particularly resistant

[sazzy123]

some of mine were the same  so far only 1 plant affected

[Riala]

But only two toms are infected that I can see, can I pick the rest now, or do I have to throw them all away?

Last year all my patio toms got blight. I tried ripening unmarked fruit in a bag with a banana but they developed brown marks and did not ripen. In the end I took anything without a mark and made green tomato chutney. Last week my outdoor tomatoes down the allotment got blight (touch wood the patio ones are fine for now) I picked the lot to go straight into chutney!
