Tomato Blight


























Another disaster. I had been growing bush tomatoes in the Growmate greenhouse. Unfortunately the design isn't blight proof, as water can enter in the gap at the top of the pyramid, and splash blight spores on to the tomato foliage below. I can probably find a way round by covering the gap loosely, but I won't be able to grow tomatoes in here next year.

Luckily, very little of the fruit had been affected by the infection and I managed to rescue a couple of pounds of tomatoes.
