Blight hasn't spread anywhere near as quickly as I expected it to once it appeared in July. It's not got in to the stem of any tomato plant so I've not lost any fruit. Potatoes have been worse affected, I keep picking leaves off the Cara but it doesn't seem to have got in to the stems there either.

That's good news, I've found the same. The leaves have shrivelled a d o ly the occasional fruit affected. The blight resistant t outdoor toms have weathered it very well.

Got blight on orange Banana and Jersey Devil. Cut them down and burnt the foliage.
Hoping some of the green fruits will ripen and be usable. Both have a pretty good crop.
All other varieties looking ok so far!

I think what I thought was late blight in July was actually early blight, which I've not seen much of before. Late blight has been around in patches for a few weeks but the plants haven't been too much affected until recently. The blight resistant tomatoes are barely touched and the Cara potatoes have a bit on the leaves but it's not got in to the stem yet. A few of the other tomatoes I am going to chop down tomorrow.

Blight here for anyone else? I think it first appeared a week or two ago on the Super Mamas I'm growing outside. Some seed companies said this variety was blight resistant, but it's obviously not. Some of the fruit were affected so I've taken all of the full size, green ones off to ripen indoors. No other varieties have been affected yet.

Yes here too about the same timing. Not too rampant just one or two fruit but leaves and stems are showing damage on one or two plants outside and possibly one in the gh.
