et... 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?

No spray available to the amateur is worth bothering with. Grow earlies
and
blight resistant varieties of potatoes. Tomatoes will continue producing
for
a good while even with blight, in a greenhouse. Stay organic, it is not
the
deciding factor with blight

My early potatoes did really well and I still have a few in the
ground, however I planted some late crop Maris Peer in July, the
foliage was a very healthy foot or so tall, before it all very rapidly
turned black and died back completely to ground level, would that be
blight ? How disappointing was that !! :-(

Very disappointing, could be blight of course but there are so many potato
diseases which are more prevalent because of the bad weather and I wouldn't
like to say for sure
