Default Two in a row

Bugger! My tomatoes have also fallen to blight. Hardly surprising as I've
been getting alert after alert from Bligh****ch recently. Oh well, looking
forward to next year.

So, I'm not going organic next year. Sorry. What should I spray the crap
out of my tomatoes and spuds with next year whenever there's a full smith
period? Which pesticide is the best, have you found?

Our outside Toms are still OK and producing an excellent crop.
Did plant half the row with blight resistant Fantasio but the rest are not
resistant so as insurance I have sprayed them all with Bordeaux Mixture to
ward off the blight. It will not cure a plant already infected but will stop
it happening in the first place.
Be difficult to spray potatoes though.
