Title: More blight misery
Post by: gazza1960 on July 24, 2012, 10:17:35
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!

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  :(
