See my reply to Steve.

Just pick the toms (
they will ripen in a cool place indoors) and burn the plants if you can,
to kill the blight spores. If you can't burn them, don't compost them.


I read on some discussions that as long as you bury the plants at
least 2 fet below the surface, it's okay, but, yes, burning is better
to completely destroy the disease.

Thanks,

Peter
