Topic: Where did blight hit??

[thifasmom]

Right this year the blight has been bad again. I am trying to map out which were the most badly affected areas.
So

• Did you get blighted?

• Where are you growing?
• What did it hit, tomatoes &/ potatoes?

• When did it hit?
• If tomatoes were affected, were they inside or outside?

So I will go first:

• No blight this year for me, so far :) 05/09/08.
• I'm in Maidstone, Kent.

• I grew early potatoes and outdoor tomatoes.

No blight on Toms,still growing.

No blight on potatoes...........final lifting few weeks ago.

However my neighbour across our close has Blight on his outdoor tomatoes,no blight on his hanging basket tomatoes hanging by his front door.
I gave him the hanging basket,tumbling toms,and I have only grown tumbling toms this year,could it be they are more blight resistant.???

outdoor toms at the lotty got blighted a few weeks ago. indoor toms leaves got all brwn and rotton but fruit is fine and I have tried opening the door to let more air in and leaves are growing green again at the moment (damp or blight what a decision) managed to get 1st and 2nds out before it struck the site and the sarpo ones still look green tho one lot is going over a bit (bought 2 kinds but got them muddled up )

East Finchley, North London.  Blight hit my outdoor tomatoes in last week of August, although Ferline was more resistant to it than other varieties.  It did not affect my potatoes.
