I think i have blight on tomatoes leafs, the problem seems to only effect the lower leafs, from the pic can you confirm it is blight and what should i do, to correct the problem.

You can get a blight test for potatoes, you may be able to use it, or similar, for tomatoes. I don't know much, but I don't think you have blight, looks more like a leaf miner.

Don't think it's blight, possibly sun scald.

End of july and hope this is not blight?






Another thing i have alot of toms on the plants, but non are even looking like there about to go red, any ideas?

That's not blight - it's old age!

Tomatoes are very slow ripening this year due to the weather, so don't panic!

Thanks I am happy now, old age poor things.

I was reading the other night about ethylene gas and consistent winds that can slow the ripening process, it has been very windy for the last week, also my toms are growing in a wind tunnel kind of setup, was thinking maybe to close the two sides in, to stop all wind getting to them.

Is this blight?

[Ice]

I think it might be blight, it does start on the edges of the leaves.  DD might be along to bring better news.

I'm not a tomato disease expert - in fact I'm not an expert any anything!

I can't really say what it is, but if it was blight I'd expect it to be more spread out along the edges, rather than in blotches - at least that's how mine's started in the last 2 years.

If it helps I've just fished these out of the bin (where most of my toms are now)

It was a perfectly healthy leaf 3 days ago, you can also see how it progresses to the stem.
