Just got back from watering the plot to find all 6 of our marzano tommies outside full of blight on the stems and worse to come was unzipped the polly and the 4 I have in there have all succumed to it as well,although the Tomatillo is hanging in there.
Oh well its GH or bust this season,we have 9 left including Jeannines Big zak that refuses to fruit as yet.

still on the upside I walked away and just picked another 4 lb of beautiful plump Green Goosies so I guess for every failure  there is a little spark of joy ...... :D

Oh Gaz sorry to hear that. I know your pain! Lost all my toms - no poly or GH so just what was outside. As I am going on hols to the Pyrenees I am hoping to stock up on the local produce and hopefully keep myself some seeds for next year!
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

Sorry to hear about your tommies gazza, it's horrible when they get wiped like that. Hope your greenhouse ones stay healthy  :)

What a pain, sorry to hear that.  You say you 'unzipped' - better ventilation might have prevented the blight - or not  :(
