Some of my tomato plants are showing signs of blight :x I´ve pulled off the infected leaves and bagged them to take them to the dump- about 4 plants I´ve pulled up as the stems are rotting. :x We have had very wet weather here for a month there has been at least 12 days of rain so far this month and April was wet too, which is a lot for this time of year and the temperatures have been very mild.
I´m not happy :cry: The plants I´ve pulled up were laden with fruit- 2 plum tomato plants and 2 ´big tomato´ plants
The neighbour has been and sprayed the tomatoes with the spray he used last year when his toms were hit badly by blight. So fingers crossed.
Very annoying but in the great scheme of things blight is nothing (neighbour heared today that her elderly aunty has to have both legs amputated because of gangrene, so blight is not important is it?)

ps I picked my first crop of dwarf beans (black) dwarf yellow (sonata) and berlotti beans today :D Will have a look through my seeds to see what I can plant in the tomato spaces.
