  • Tomato blight !

    I have pre-sprayed these outdoor toms with soluble asprin so really they should be protected but since then I have found brown marks here and there. I have cut off those leaves and binned them in the household kitchen bin. I have had these markings in previous years which didn't bring the plant or fruit down.

    Does this look like blight ? I really hope it isn't as it's the most successful crop I have grown this season. I do have some plants in the greenhouse too which look fine, except 2 yellowing plants ( in small container) which were later given some nitrogen but didn't help. I have the greenhouse kept shut.

    I think blight is more round blotches, I'd just keep removing the dodgy leaves and talk to them nicely(you never know it might help).

      Doesn't look like blight to me, just plants getting past their prime and feeling the shorter days/colder weather.
      Feed the soil, not the plants.

            Trim off the affected foliage and give them a blast of epsom salts/tomorite

            The fruits etc look great

              Think you're fine as stated. All my blighted toms had very brown patches on the stems often before there was much indication on the fruit - can't see anything showing on the stems on your... Fingers crossed...
