Tomato blight!

Can you use the soil from the pots in the garden or is that infected too?

I've just read you can Illte, but not anywhere near potato plants because they are cousins.

And I stood on my courgette and broke it! ?

I wouldn't use the soil either, Illte.

How annoying after all that work.

Yes that's just like mine Ellianne.

Ive been out and picked all the ones that still look edible. I can't have bonfires where I am to get rid of the plants.

If you grow your tomatoes from seed, try a blight resistant variety. I've grown Ferline (Large beefy tomatoes) and San Antonio, small plum tomatoes, and they're ok so far. Seeds are expensive though. They do well outdoors in a sunny spot.

Thanks Trisha57.

Sorry, meant to type Ellianne.

*Ellianne", it looks like blight. Do the leaves have sunken brown and black patches on them? Blight is the bane of my life. This year, I sterilised all my pots with Jeyes Fluid, Washed the inside and floor of the greenhouse with it and hung a net curtain across the door to keep out airborne spores. And STILL the dreaded blight struck! Luckily I had already harvested a lot of tomatoes (I sow them in January and bring them on indoors) so I only had a few losses.

Is this when they go black?
I am also a novice and thought I was doing so well with my abundant plant. Now tge tomatoes are turning shiny and black.

"Can I put them in the garden bin or will that contaminate."
I would burn them . It's caused by a fungus and the spores can spread if you put them in your compost bin.
We had the disease on tomatoes and potatoes a few times when we had a veg. garden in France. Brought on by a period of warm damp weather.

I bring my green tomatoes in and lay them out on trays in the conservatory. They seem to ripen up ok, and I made lots of pasta sauce with them last year. Don’t feel you have to do everything with green ones, they will ripen up hopefully.

I’m sure Mr Google will find some recipes for you, @Illte.
I think I saw some while looking for the chutney one.

That's what it is! I'm a novice gardener and thought it was maybe just too much rain. They're outdoors.

Anybody got any other green tomato recipes. We're not chutney fans.
