I and my fellow plot holder's also had a bad year with tomatoes thanks to Captain Blight, the only survivors on our site this year are in greenhouses, I wonder what i will be building over the winter lol What is wrong with our potato's. We grew them

there in the same way.? well there s a thought!!!   I have had problems of tomato blight for the past couple of years and have now lost all my tomato plants again. I planted them in the troughs or plant pots. Kept well watered. Any tips for next year please Coralie
