Allotments 4 All

My lovely Sungold tomatoes have finally succumbed to blight. Went to water them yesterday morning, and 2 of the 9 plants had areas of black stems and classic leaf symptoms.
They've cropped really well this year and I'm pleased to have avoided it for so long.
I've cut off all the fruit, so there'll be more chutney being made at the weekend!

Hateful blight, but great you have had a good season, Sungold well they are just awesome 

I'm next door to NG10, I had to cut down my outdoor Ailsa Craig PDQ 2 weeks ago when I saw the dreaded patches on the stems. It was a huge green crop, I've been so lucky because they are ripening beautifully on a sunny windowsill, only lost a few fruit. Oddly enough, the self-sown on the compost heap right near by have only started to show signs today, so they've been windowsilled as well. Mind you, I've had 3 blight warnings in a week so it's hardly surprising.

Due to a wet August our site has been blighted for 3 weeks! I managed to keep it at bay with Bordeaux mixture but yesterday I saw that the Sungold have it. Oh well, I had a great crop so can't complain. Not too much green fruit left, hopefully some will ripen before the worst hits. I have done better than my neighbours who have ripped out all their plants.

We have been lucky and avoided blight. Only had 3 alerts all season and had a good crop of tomatoes and some are still setting fruit now (our little bush tomatoes)

Blighted too in Thurrock

No blight this year luckily, but all four of my outdoor tomato plants became infected with powdery mildew this week - probably due to the close proximity of a badly affected Parthenon courgette plant. Not a problem though - the courgette is still merrily producing and I've removed all the leaves from the tomato plants. I think the warm sun forecast for the next few days will be enough to allow the remaining couple of dozen tomatoes to ripen naturally.

Powdery mildew has been particularly bad this year, affecting all my squash and courgette plants - and now the tomatoes too.
