every day i check the greenhouse i find another handfull of toms on the floor.
they are going grey and soft at the tops of the fruits, not all just some on my red alert toms.
(the other varieties are only flowering so far)

looks like blight to me - what are the plants like?  Do the stems have a reddish brown tinge on them?

Oh dear, the sun will be too late for those when if it appears.

It could be botrytis rather than blight.

[lochnesslass]

um not sure on the red- brown would need to go check.
if it is blight what should i do?
pic the green ones for chutney?
and what about those that have not set fruit yet?

im new to all this  

[lochnesslass]

argyllie think you are correct going by a google search - bummer.

[arugula]

We got botrytis in our polytunnel toms a couple of seasons back, just due to combination of weather and overcrowding causing lack of air movement.

Still feels like such a waste though...

Pick off everything that's affected, leaves & fruit, and pull up any plants that have grey mould on the main stems, as you can't save these Dispose of foliage do not compost it.

Increase the air flow in the greenhouse by keeping doors and windows open, with a bit of luck the plants will be ok........keep an eye out for any more mould and snip it off as you see it.
