Noticed that blight has already been reported in west Cornwall so

it will soon be marching across the Country, what with the warmth and this
wet showery weather making the leaves damp for hours. Time to get the
Bordeaux Mixture spray out to protect my outdoor Tomatoes from it.


Dobies are marketing an early warning system for tomato and potato
blight at

Dunno if it'll be any good.

I saw that somewhere but thought it would only show you when Blight had
arrived and it's a bit late to spray with Bordeaux Mixture then as it's only
a preventative and will do nothing for plants already infected.
