It has ravage my crop in a short period of time.
Blackened stalks withered leaves and attacked fully formed green fruit.,
What can I do to prevent it happening next year
what do I do with the ravaged plants and fruit
There are still some green fruit should I pick them and ripen or am I Too
late will it appear
and ruin the fruit
Is this a fungus or infection?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly recieved to cure my problem

Yes, it is blight and there is not a lot you can do. The green fruit
may look OK but will probably develop blight as they ripen. I have
just had to scrap the crop on my allotment, for about the 7th year
running. I hope to burn the plants and debris, once they dry out, if
we get any more sun. Don't compost the plants or fruit.
I have a copy of an article from HDRA which I can send to you as an
attachment. Is your email address correct when I hit the email
button?
It's all pretty depressing.
