my plants look healthy, so I don't think I've got blight, but some of the tomatoes are going brown / black whilst ripening.  They are taking ages to ripen this year - I think its because I'm missing some glass from the g/h.  I've kept the door closed this year and am hardly having to water as the ground is very wet from all the rain.

From previous posts it would seem they're slow to ripen most places this year. I'm just using my first proper batch for dinner this evening  (ermm we tend to eat late! :-[ :-[ :-[) Courgettes onions garlic tomatoes + provelone all drizzled with rosemary flavoured olive oil. In the oven right now and driving my taste buds crazy!

Noticed it on the greenhouse ones tonight   :'( 

Guess I won't put a passata machine on the Christmas list this year then  :(

If I ever get it all right - then that's the time to quit.
