tomato blight

[isbister]

I planted 8 Marmande and 8 Ferline all mixed up in 2 rows. I've had to dig up 6 of the Marmande but so far not one of the Ferline is affected, they have "good resistance to blight" - seems to be true.

Yesterday I dug up my entire crop of outdoor tomatoes. (80 or so plants!) Have salvaged a trug-ful but have 5 council sacks full of plants & fruit to "re-cycle". (Have checked with council - as they compost at such a high temperature, everything gets killed. At least some good will come out of the sorry mess!)

At least last year I managed to save some seeds, but this year it's happened so suddenly every plant has been affected and I daren't try saving anything.

Hey, ho....
