Yes blight here to - I've only started my lotty towards the end of last
year - managed to get my earlies out the charlottes and swift were
gorgeous.
All my main crop have blight.
The old un's on lotty tell me that they have also lost theirs, first time
ever blight been a problem on our lotty.
Also lots have lost shallots, mine may be ok I'm told
certainly lost all my garlic, all black and horrible - they had been there
since about oct last year - no growth at all and very sick.
old un's on lotty, as said previously never had it before so all new to
them, someone suggested if on leaves and hasn't gone down the stem then
cut of haulm and hope sufficient growth under the soil.
any suggestions apart from that.

Just checked my tomatoes and potatoes tonight and since Sunday night I
have blight on both!
Charlottes seem to have escaped but definitely leaves show sign son other
potatoes.
Tomatoes have black marks on stems and also on some leaves.

As it's early what the best move forward apart from burning everything?
Don't have indoor tomatoes but might have to start next year at this
rate.....

Not affecting crops in Great Missenden or Prestwood or the Lee (about 4
miles away) just Amersham and poss. Chesham at the moment.
Anyone else suffering?

My T and M blight resistant varieties are the only potatoes not to be
blighted on our field but I cut the tops off just in case. The tomatoes are
going down with it and the greenhouses are now infected too but i am hoping
to get a few fruits before the plants collapse
