Any sign of the dreaded blight yet?
That is what normally finishes off my outdoor tomatoes.


Yes, blight is alive and well on our allotment site. Quite a few of the"new"
gardeners have lost their whole crop as most won't spray with anything
chemical. Ours are OK, sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture twice so far and we
grow blight resistant varieties only anyway.

Should somebody tell these enthusiasts that Bordeaux mixture is
approved for organic crops? Or am I wrong?
