Boris70 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi, Just noticed I have the very early signs of blight on my tomato plants. The fruit is still looking ok. What now - can I pick the fruit and ripen on the window sill, or do I just chop off adn burn the bad bits of plant and hopr for the best? Thanks Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlsmum Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 you can try to salvage the fruit but it may go funny (black etc) over the next few days. Throw the tomatoe plants away or burn them . Dont compost them. Most people on my allotment have lost all their tomatoes to blight. Next year try spraying them with bordeaux mixture , from garden centres. I have done this this year cos i lost all of mine the last 2 years. So far this year so good. hope this helps Girlsmum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
