I sympathise with you greatly. I had the same problem last year, and this year i have managed botyritis, in 1 of my GH`s.What an idiot eh, prolly get red spider mite next! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A lot of my toms last year still ripened on the vine. I made regular inspectons and removed any affected fruit or leaves. So you still have a window of opportunity.
Good luck,
Sandra

Hi,
I removed all of mine that were affected and binned them. Remember not to put it in your compost bin.
I think it was someone on the RHS message board that reccomended I do that. I was careful to not touch healthy bits while removing and washed hands etc after, so as not to help the spread.
Good luck
Sandra

There is something you can spray with, before it gets to the fruit. Sulphur I think ??K's Garden blog the story of the creation of our garden

Pick off all the affected bits and distroy them. Inspect every day and continue to clip off the affected areas. Spray with the bordeaux mix, it will help to slow the blight down even if it doesnt eradicate it completely. Give the plants as much air and space from each other as you can as this wet and humid weather is the cause of so9 much disease in the greenhouse. Good luck. I am batteling the same bxxxxdy blight.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
