Poor old toms have had it !

Too much muggy weather , not enough sun and dry ! 

[juvenal]

I have a row of Roma tomato plants laden with fruit.
Parallel to them, and a yard away I have a row of Crimson Crush plants.
Roma have been slaughtered completely by blight.
Crimson Crush are virtually unaffected.

I should have known better, and only Crimson Crush and Crimson Cocktail grow on my allotment in future.

juvenal, I've seen a few people who look similar to your tomato, after a heavy night on cocktails.

[Growster...]

That's rotten luck, 8, I'm so sorry you've had all that.

We've had warnings almost daily here, so you must have been swamped by the hour!

[Enfield Glen]

Just got back from the allotment and I have the early signs too.  Cant complain to much as I have had a really good crop this year. cut my loses and harvested 2 buckets of green Toms and cut the rest down,

My crop of Sungold fell foul but the Honey Moon in the same bed are still growing well. Mountain Magic, which I grew last year are also blight resistant.

I suppose i cannot really complain as it is the first time i've been seriously blighted out this century !
Some of the old favourites will have to make way for more resistant varieties next year.

I lost all of my allotment toms this year, but it has been a learning experience.

I think where I went wrong was firstly in imagining that lots of leafy growth was a good thing regardless of location and secondly agreeing to accommodate my wife's desires to plant out all of her (very numerous) plants. End result was a very crowded bushy and sprawling raised bed - blight heaven.

Next year I will mainly grow resistant varieties and tomatillos (which I note have not been touched this year). For the few non-resistant varieties I grow, I will make sure to prune back growth around 1ft from the ground and give adequate space!

I have got 3 blight resistant toms growing on the plot.  I have seen small patches of blight on the fruits of the Ferline and the foliage on these is yellowing, but not blighted.

The Crimson Crush and Crimson Blush are untouched and there are other blighted tomatoes on the allotment site.

My greenhouse toms are not blight resistant types at all, but so far all are ok.

Funnily enough where my plot is - at the top end, my Crimson Crush remain blight-free, but my friend's (also Crimson Crush) at the bottom of the hill, have had to be binned.
I can only assume that the wind blew the worst of the spores downhill and his got a really good dose of them, really sad as they were absolutely covered with nearly ripe toms

Oh that is a shame

Could be a drainage thing ?
If the plants are in the good environment  they must be in a better state to fight infection ?

That's difficult to answer because up 'til blight struck his plants looked much healthier than mine, which were suffering because the ground on my plot is so very dry (even though they got watered most days) whereas his rarely needed watering even when it was over 30'.
Who knows? 
I thought about wind blown spores, because on the bottom plots potatoes often get frosted when ours at the top are ok..
These things are all a bit hit and miss aren't they?

[missmoneypenny]

@Juvenal that is one naughty Crimson Crush. What happens on the lottie stays on the lottie!
My Romas were the blight Trojan horses last year. Ferline was unaffected. I rate ferline, they look like your standard supermarket Tom but are real troupers and actually taste good.

[sunnywillow]

Had some blight on the Ailsa Craig - managed to strip the leaves and affected fruit apart from this guy!
Looks as though he had a good dosing of super phosphate
