Thanks AS - other than in tomatoes I am not sure that I am experienced enough to spot it. I've never had it on spuds, just tomatoes.

Some of my Desiree look a bit like Losing the Plot's, but they are sending up healthy green shoots further down the stem.

The general yellowing of the leaves looks like they have reached maturity and are dying off naturally. Having said that the blobs on the leaves are almost certainly blight.

I would remove the tops. If they are mature they will grow no more anyway. If you leave them there is potential for the blight spores to infect the potato tubers.

You don't have to be experienced with blight to be a blight scout.  You just send some specimen leaves off to them for testing.

They send you all the postal things.

I lost my entire crop of Foremost to blight last week CA2 Cumbria

Interesting, there's no sign of it in CA7. I've only been 'blighted' once in the last seven years.

Got it on tomatoes on one of the fields on our site - KT5 Kingston

I think there's blight here as well  It's not the super-quick, turn everything black overnight, kind but all the spuds are all going down gradually, including the garden toms. Perhaps the dry weather is slowing it up here 

Even the 2 toms nearest the greenhouse door have had some suspect leaves removed this morning.

Must buy some spray for next year, it's heart breaking to loose the toms after all the hard work. At least with the spuds there will still be a crop underground.

SC, I thought at first that it was just dryness as the leaves and stems turned yellow. Then I got black blobs on the leaves and it also affected the tubers too. Most of them were soft and when you cut into them, the flesh had a speckled appearance

I've chucked three suspect tomato plants, after Mrs Growster spied a couple of fruits with the late blight markings, and the stems showed up black in parts the following day.

They were in a long tray, rather like a window box, and planted amongst a lot of other stuff, so couldn't dry out after watering!

So far, all the others are OK, even the ones nearby so fingers crossed!

A couple of greenhouse tomatoes were showing definite signs of blight, including stems and fruit, so they're now history. Surprisingly, they're not the plants nearest the door, and the outside toms are still  holding their own, just. A strange year for blight with the feeling it was always just hanging about in the air, but never getting a head of steam up.

All the toms and spuds on the plots were struck with blight a week or so ago - no near blight warnings and no  Smith period warnings either 

But today I got a near miss email    bit late now m'thinks!

TN18 has a Full Smith Period now, and it sure feels like it!

Bordeaux'd all the Patch Toms again yesterday, but one or two suspects at home are holding their own! At least they won't get a headache, as they all had another dose of soluble aspirin yesterday...

SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh!

[Beetroot Queen]

Sure my toms have the start of blight 

[Growster...]

Quite right, Devon, but don't worry, I won't tell anybody...
