Blacky-blue patches on toms - blight?
« on: June 04, 2008, 19:52 »
I know there is a whole array of tom problems and to be honest the site that has the most pictures doesn't match any of my leaves.

I have a pot grown gardeners delight and the bottom leave have bluey-black patches on them.  No other colours, no yellow or lumps or anything else - could this be blight?

It was out in yesterday's all day rain

I don't know about blacky/blue vineweevil, but blight is usually brown, but I'm no tomato expert.  DD is probs our most experienced tom man!!

I don't know the name but there is a distinct condition of that sort, defo no blight as Grannie says, but take the affected leaves of promptly, if want to have some plants. :wink:

Now hold on there! I'm no expert and especially not in the field of diseases, (fortunately!).

The closest I've ever seen on my tomatoes is a few years ago when the leaves got battered & bruised by the heavy rain. (They got blight later on  :evil: ).

As gobs says, take the leaves off & see how you go.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
