Blight Already

Blight has arrived with the rain
In the two or three days of rain and not going outside, the blight has ravaged my outdoor toms.  Usually I'm fairly lucky and it doesn't arrive before most of the toms are ripening well, this year not so.  I've harvested what I can and put the fruit in the shed rather than contaminate the GHs, dont hold out much hope of them ripening though.  Is green tomato chutney worth doing?

They will ripen better at room temperature but if the blight has got into the fruit they aren't really worth keeping. When our outdoor plants got blight in early August I only kept fruit with no visual indicators of blight, checked them regularly and within a week they started showing signs of infection. Even if they ripen I find tomatoes at this time of the year aren't very tasty due to lack of sun, especially if harvested before first blush. Chutney is a good way of using green tomatoes but we're still slogging through the 2018 batch

Might it be worth growing earlier fruiting varieties? I only grow early determinates outside now and they're usually finished by September.

Sound advice TMTT, thanks.  What outdoor varieties do you choose to grow?  It might help  my next year's list choices
