Hello,

I'm in the Midlands. Has anyone suffered from blight (tomato or
potato) this year?

A friend said he lost his tomatoes. he went away for a weekend and
when he came back they had gone. Could that have been blight?

I had problems with slugs last year so this year I planted kestrel and
Romano potatoes. One week they were growing nicely; the next week
there was nothing there! It was as if they had been stolen! I have dug
the ground and there are some tubers. Most are fine but there have
been a few that were mushy.

I don't know much about blight. Does this sound like it may have been
the cause? I've read a little via google and I understand it is
carried in the wind. Would polytunnels reduce the risk of blight?

I have also read that some people spray every couple of weeks. Do many
people here do that?

Finally, what varieties can you recommend that are blight and slug
resistant?

TIA
