I am pretty sure that we have blight on the tomatoes.

We have disposed of the worst plants, removed suspect looking leaves and sprayed with bordeaux mixture.

Will this do any good or do you think we are better off culling the lot?

All that work and nurturing, what a .........er

Keep an eye on them. Bordeaux mixture will only help prevent blight , it will not cure it.

Thanks for that. Have found a fewmore that need to be binned.

What a growing year this has been

I've just been doing that in the greenhouse 05:30  !  (before the heat of the day gets too much).  I've found St Maranz and my Black Russian particularly suseptible to blight.  All the former are in the bin and I suspect the latter may follow.   I may try the bordeaux mixture treatment.

Cheers,    Tony.

If it's your preferred weapon, buy stocks before the end of Feb next year, after which it will be withdrawn. You are allowed to store it and use it to the end of Feb 2015.
