Yes, in Glasgow, very early.

On list but no warning yet for North Lincs.Thanks for warning though, 'bout time to dig out the Bordeaux mix et al me thinks....  ::)
PS what opinions do folk have on effective deterrents other than chopping the whole lot down which always seems a bit drastic as a deterrent....

I generally use a couple of copper sulphate sprays on my toms and even though the blight wins in the end it gives me enough time to get a decent crop.

near miss for SL5 two days ago.

No but I've had terrible blight, I had to pull up a row of plants. I've never seen it so bad. It's because it rained every day for a few weeks.

Some of the plants have missed it so far though and have toms on them, so I'm watching them, and hoping I'll manage to ripen some.

Very early.  :(

Only one day so not a full period  GL7.    I think it was earlier last year when we had three full criteria days between 8th and 10 th June my tomatoes were very sick very quickly.  This year they are still looking very bonny so I hope I get some fruit off them. 

Near miss period        EN3       26/6/11 

Full Smith over last weekend in Swindon't, not too fussed unless we get another few cos there's no reported outbreak

Had a full smith period warning in Guildford too over the weekend.
A bit late as the site already has blight.  Seems to be affecting the earlies that survived the late frost worst.

My lottie neighbour already has blight on their spuds.  I grow my toms under a cover and it seems to keep the blight at bay just long enough for me to get a good crop.  Fingers crossed.

No Blightwatch warnings for me yet in Notts although it was warm and wet last weekend.  But I DREAMT about blight last night....bizarre!! Maybe I should get the Bordeaux ready just in case my subconscious is trying to tell me something.

  yes we had a full period forcast last Thursday, but we only had about an hours rain. BS49
