Unhappy Greenhouse Tomato disaster - help please

Hi

For the second year running my greenhouse tomatoes are struggling with a vicious fungal infection. All the plants of different types seem to be affected. The tomato flowers seem to be the problem. They go brown and furry with spore ridden mildew like fungus, finally falling off and infecting any leaf/stem they fall on. Quite often the healthy tomatoes are not affected. Last year I ended up removing almost all the leaves on the plants. This year I have been trying to remove the remains of the flowers before they infect other parts of the plant.

I had hoped that last years problems were related to the really wet weather but as this is happening again am at a loss as to the real cause.

I have spent a lot of time tending these plants and am hoping that someone will be able to suggest what this infection is and if I have any chance of getting rid of it.

Thanks

Rob
