Is this normal?

I've never noticed it happen in the past.

Alan a neighbour complained that his outdoor tomato plants rotted last
year, went sort of brown and patchy and so did the ones in the
greenhouse.
Some tomatoes stayed okay but not many. Also neighbour's brother 4 miles
away had same thing happen, their tomatoes were from same pack of seeds
but all that they had in common.

This year same thing has happened to me in the last month. Fruits gone
brown, blotchy but covers the entire fruit.
Do I burn, chuck or compost?
What particular disease condition is it?

Janet
We are in Amersham, Bucks if that's any help.

Tomato Blight. Airborne fungal infection. Best to destroy the
plants.

Hi Janet,

My tomato plants, or what was left of them ended up in the London Road Council Tip.

Cheers
