Blight!
Pull up and burn all affected plants/fruit, do not compost any part of them,
and don't plant Toms or spuds in that spot for 5+ years. Infected fruit will
rot.


Don't be ridiculous. Blight does not have resistant spores and does
not overwinter in the soil. The solution is to spray with Bordeaux
mixture next year and/or hope for different weather.
