Overnight, my outdoor tomatoes just succumbed to blight. I wouldn't have believed something could happen so quickly. Anyway, I have burned what remained of them, but I don't know if I need to burn the canes they were staked with as well, or whether they can be disinfected for reuse. What do you regular blight sufferers do?
Fortunately, I had lifted my spuds just 3 days before....and my greenhouse toms seem OK, though you can imagine how well I am watching them now. Are there any other crops that may be affected?
Onion rot, slugs, pigeons, now blight....what's left?
oh crumbs,what bad luck,sympathies!! I would never have thought about the canes being affected,could they be sterilised in some way I wonder? Not much help am I!
Just wash the canes.
That simple?! Thanks. Glad I didn't burn them.
