Blight Already

Tomato blight is always a question of when not if, but late June is a bit early. I've been stripping off the infected leaves almost daily, but today the blight hit the stems so I've chopped the plants off to below that point, but don't hold out much hope of harvesting very much. There are a few trusses, but one pineapple now has one truss and no leaves at all!!

The infected plants are marmande, bradywine & pineapple and are the first ones I planted out. Interestingly they are also the ones that stick out beneath the roof of the tomato shelter so have been rained on a little. The ground is mulched to avoid spash back - this is photo is last year's frame before planting with a straw mulch; I've gone back to grass clippings this year.     


Today I sprayed with Bordeaux mixture in the hope of saving the rest, but it is probably too late.
