I'm seeing the first signs of blight.

A few dark patches on stems, a few marked leaves, a few marked
tomatoes.

Mostly the tomatoes seem fine, there is still a large crop and they
are still ripening.

What is the best way to prolong cropping, and how long do you think I
can get away with it?

Cheers

Are you sure it is blight?
I think it could be end of season blossom end rot(or whatever they call it)
Outdoor tomatoes this year have had to put up with some very low night time
temperatures.
It is surely normal at this time of year to have a few dark patches on
stems, and few marked leaves.
I have all of this, but, it IS October after all IMO, expected.

Prolong them by picking the whole vine, before frost and put them in a dark
place to ripen. Some people say put them in a sunny position, but dark
works for me.
