Blight

| My tomatoes had the blight that swept all over the north east. I picked all the fruit that did not have the black spots and put them on an outside table and see if they would ripen, many of them did so we were fortunate in that respect.
I pulled the plants and transported them to the woods, If anyone might advise me if it would be safe to plant tomatoes in the same spot or the same garden.
From what little I know about blight a lot of is airborne and comes mostly in the morning. I believe that I also read that you should not water plants in the morning.
Thanks |

| I am sure you know this already, but everything I've read states that you can plant in the same place next year. Blight does not survive in the soil over the course of the off season. |

| late blight doesn't but early blight does survive as I understand it- in soil, on stakes etc. It is always the safest practice to burn all diseased plants, and then plant in a different spot in the garden next year (standard rotation). If you only had late blight though, it might not be so important. I am in the NE and had both this year. |
