Tomato Blight

Marshallkey
10 years ago

In my first full year of retirement I have 70 tomato plants out and was hoping to do some canning, sharing with friends and family and possibly have some fun at the Farmers Market ! But here in So. Indiana we had rain and it was cloudy nearly every single day in May and June. We have had more sunshine and heat in the last week and half than we had in May and June put together.
I have watered at the base and have compost mulch on all of my plants ! Yet somehow I have a couple plants with what looks to be blight. One really bad and one next to it is starting to look bad. They have some nice green tomatoes on them and I hate to pull them yet if I dont I fear several other plants will be affected. It breaks my heart after all the work I have done ( starting from seed for the first time etc) that I might lose my plants.
I'm really not fond of fried green tomatoes. I guess I could make a green tomato relish with the green ones on the plants I have to pull !
Should I pull them now ?
