Had 9 lovely plants, all covered in ripening plum, beefsteak, cherry and ordinary tomatoes. Fine on Saturday, all brown, collapsed and blighted today. Had to throw everything out. Damn this wet summer.
Tomatoes a disaster this year.Usually 'Sungold 'produce more than I can eat -grown in large Growbags on sunny wall of garage. In the rainy period the fruits didn't form and growth was slow.Then the very hot dry spell came and shrivelled the leaves.Like jeni I've had 6 baby tom.The plants are the size they normally are in May. I'm told it will be a poor year for apples as the fruit didn't form due to bad weather.
All my tomatoes blighted too, it's so disappointing. I usually blitz and freeze them for pasta sauce, casseroles etc throughout the year. The runner beans aren't brilliant either.
Maniac I have to say that the apples are looking fantastic around here.I don't have any but I've seen lots of healthy looking crops, so fingers crossed!
I pulled out Money Maker and Shirley plants at the first sign of blight but I have a wonderful healthy crop of Suttons F1 Sweet Million. I have picked pounds and pounds of these delicious little tomatoes to give to friends and family - really healthy. A packet of 20 seeds cost £2.75 and worth every penny.
