Title: Chillies and peppers - blight
Post by: Flowertot on August 26, 2019, 12:10

Hello, the tomato plants on my allotment have definitely got blight  :( so I’ve pulled them up today and disposed of them. I have some chillies and other pepper plants growing next to them. Should I be worried that they might catch blight too?
