Aarrgh! We are on the very edge of our first disaster on the allotment – and it goes by the name of tomato blight. I popped down tonight to water the greenhouse plants and saw a very concerned looking Bob on Sharon’s plot. Her greenhouse toms had been struck down and were looking very leafless and sorry for themselves. I did a quick recce of our plants and sure enough the outdoor toms had been got – their leaves have all wilted and they have big brown blodgy spots on the stems. So far the greenhouse plants are ok, but if it is in the air I think it’ll get in. Bob came to the rescue again by giving us a packet of a fungicide that could help combat it. I’ve sprayed the plants and I currently have my fingers crossed. In the meantime I have taken the tomatoes that were turning red and brought them home before anything bad happens to them.
Ketchup anyone?
