Just wondered as I'm not in a blight area but some of my toms appear to have it?

Well some varieties are less suseptible so am guessing some are worst for it.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be? -
How do you live in not a blight area? I thought all areas could get blight.
I'm certain some tomatoes are more susceptible to blight, although I feel the difference between most normal varieties is slight, the difference year to year is probably the different strains of blight."Orinoco was a fat lazy Womble"
Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.Comment

The north east doesn't really get blight - lucky so and sos! Scotland is pretty OK too which is why a lot of seed potatoes come from there as they'll be disease freeOriginally posted by womble View Post

I wouldn't say so,Alison,last year I got blight just around this time of year,now I'm keeping my fingers crossed as loads of green toms still in the greenhouse-potatoes will be fine.Originally posted by Alison View PostThe north east doesn't really get blight - lucky so and sos!

I remember last year looking at my tatties on Tuesday wondering"is it blight or not",on Thursday I was dead sure it was blight.
Desirees look ready anyway,they are really speedy to bulk up as I planted all tatties in stages starting at the beggining of May.
This spring was really rubbish,everything went in late.Last edited by coreopsis; 24-08-2010, 06:33 PM.Comment

Check the blight map out. NE England is relatively free of blight!
