Yesterday they were fine, but I noticed a neighbour’s potatoes all blackened as we came home this evening!Blight in June, so disheartening! Definitely worth considering blight resistant hybrids for next year? We have had a lot of septoria on the potatoes and it spread to the tomatoes early in the season. Luckily taking off the affected leaves stopped its spread but I would've been very upset if I lost all my tomato plants so early.
Tomorrow I'll take off all but the top set of leaves. It's rained pretty much every day since the start of May so no great surprise. Bloody infuriating as we'll probably get nothing this year. Cabbages are great, though
