Title: tomato problem
Post by: hiccup on October 03, 2019, 20:23

      Evening All
                       I have grown the variety, Shirley , this year and quite a few have rotted from
                         the top. Same greenhouse, same conditions as each year before. I would be
                         interested if anyone knows what's going on. Cheers.

Do you mean the tomatoes have rotted or the plants, or both?  A picture would help.

I have had problems with botrytis this year in the greenhouse at home, but not the polytunnel at the allotment.  I think I may have crammed too many plants in but I am not sure.  The chillies and sweet peppers were fantastic though.
