Blightwatch and tomatoes
 

I've given up growing outdoor tomatoes because of persistent problems with
blight destroying the crop.

Bligh****ch is reporting Full Smiths Period for my area, so this looks
like a wise decision.

I grew tomatoes on my allotment for 20 years and since giving that up,
in my garden. This is the first year I am not growing any. Ihad blight
every year. Bligh****ch did warn me but being forewarned just made me
more vigilant but did not help prevent the dreaded blight.

Late, but growing some under cover (not greenhouse) this year.

One day I will have a greenhouse again...

We grow them every year but have given up anything that is not said to be
Blight Resistant, so we no longer bother with Roma and Brigade (not that you
can get that excellent cooking Tom now). This year it's only Ferline and
Fantasio and also Losetto in hanging baskets at home with some volunteers of
last years Losetto, some of which we grew on the plot, growing well too
amongst the courgettes. Yes. eventually even the Blight Resistant plants get
infected but usually you still get a decent crop.
