mildew vs blight
«

Every year in the greenhouse around this time i begin to get rotting on tomato leaves. Its usually brown triangles edged with yellow that spread in water drops. It rarely infects the stem this early and i can usually cope with it by removing each infected leaf.
Later on mid aug and beyond i get proper stem dark patches and rapid deterioration of the plants inc speckles on the fruit. Which i assume is blight
Im not sure if this is mildew early then blight or blight all along.
What do you guys think.

Yes sounds like mildew followed by blight later on for a double whammy!
But there is a lot of blight about earlier this year, I'm trying to battle both in the polytunnel and greenhouse at the moment :'(
