Default Tomato disaster

You can always register with fight against blight/bligh****ch. You tell it
your postcode and how many acres!! of spuds you're growing, and it gives you
a warning if blight has struck your area, or if there's a near miss or full
smith period.


I found the blight watch alerts weren't very useful, they didn't come in in
my area till after everyone on the allotment had lost their tomatoes.

And, let's be fair - if you get the alert, what are you going to do?

I have been confused whether to leave the greenhouse door open for air flow,
or if that will let spores in ... both greenhouses have been decimated,
anyhow. :-(
