Unblemished tomatoes on plants with Blight
| | |

About 50% of my tomatoes on the plants have been killed by the Late Blight fungus.
If I pick all the tomatoes that have no blemishes from the late bight, will they still develop it if I ripen them in my house?
I have never had this happen before:( I always get the usual blight and my plants defoliate 75% by frost but the fruits have never been affected.

| You can try that. But likely the tomatoes are already infected but won't show the damage for several days. |

| I've been doing just that. Some ripen OK before the blight spots get too big and some don't. Today I made roasted tomatoes to freeze, by cutting out the blight spots on the ripest ones and roasting with garlic and herbs. I salvaged at least a little of my harvest that way (though I would normally be getting tomatoes for another 6 weeks or so, and I may have 3 days left if I am lucky.) |
