Somebody mentioned `blight` to me yesterday. Whats that? and will it get my cucumbers that are next to them and doing very nicely.
I got that new variety of tomato called `gardeners delight`that you dont have to pinch out apparently.

`Scary` :eek: I only wanted some fresh tomatoes. Having a quick look at pics it looks like `blight` what do I do about it?

it supprising... how growing veg.....and cooking can bring back such memories... and they trigger off a memory of a certain person, or event in life.......i really do wish now that i spent a lot more time with them.....

your tomatoes...it sounds like it could be either some sort of bug or lack of a certain...mineral maybe....hopefully the link that noozam has given will pin point it.. i'm just about to go and have a nose now.....

No I havent managed to.
Got some fungicide from wilkos to try. There are no flowers on them yet so will give it a shot.
Now watch me get shot for mentioning chemicals.:eek: :eek:

Have you been feeding them? Tomorite, or one of the DIY chains own label tomato feeds will make a big difference to their health if used regularly. It's not difficult - you just put a capful or so in your watering can when watering the plants.

Been feeding them once a week. But we have had some very hot weather followed but some preety damp and cold, if that makes a difference.

Another thought Messy...

My hubby says I can only water mine early morning or evening. Water on leaves in heat of the day is bad apparently.

Could this be the problem?

whatamess_2

Water them directly at the base so water doesnt get on the leaves and as early or as late in the day that I can. My grandad used to make it look so easy, half a dozen grow bags, chuck in a few plants and away you go!!!!
My cucumber is looking really healthy though.
