Yup, tomatoes have been an absolute disaster this year, one of the worst veg to lose in some ways, used so much for puree, sauce, soup, chopped tomatoes etc so they will be much missed this winter.
All the cooking tomatoes gone but have been saved on the salad front by the small varieties, both Gartenperle and Latah (from Real Seeds) were hit by the blight, lost some of the gp, but it put out a good number of good toms and the Latah, lost all the first flush, but this bush type just flowered again and it looks as if all the second flush are blight free and at the moment it's producing around 4 oz of tiny tomatoes a day. So would heartily recommend this one, I grew it last year and it carried on producing a daily crop of tomatoes to eat with my allotment lunch right through to the first frosts.
As for the aubergines, am I growing them just for the slugs??? Either they're pole vaulting my slug pellets or they just love them so much they don't care. So all my ratatouille plans down the toilet
