My tomatoes have blight. I've had about 15 cherry tomatoes from eight plants so far, but there are lots of green ones on the plants, so I was looking forward to a nice harvest later. No such luck. The two plants in the greenhouse seem OK, fingers crossed.
I don't know if it's because the soil is poor or this season is strange (or because I'm inept), but I've only had very little crop from anything.
And the slugs are back, so more slug pellets scattered around.
Thanks, GWRS & scroggin, that's good to know. Not that I'm glad your tomatoes haven't had a perfect season, of course, but it's kind of reassuring to hear that it's happening to other people as well.
