It looks like almost all of our tomatoes have blight, and we haven't had a single tomato yet. Very disappointing.
The one tomato plant that's safe at the moment is the Shirley, which is in the greenhouse. There are plenty of good looking tomatoes on it, so hopefully we'll have some tomatoes from it soon.
The other 59 tomato plants are all outside. We've stripped all the damaged leaves and sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture, but it's probably too late. At best, we'll slow the blight down and we might get a few tomatoes, but as there aren't many tomatoes yet, it's not looking good. There are hundreds of flowers, dozens of tomatoes, nothing anywhere near ripe - the poor weather this year meant everything is very late.
But got to think positive: this year's weather has been the worst on record - next year is unlikely to be this bad, so we should do a lot better.
