Blight cometh





Oh what a disaster. Both tunnels have succumbed to blight. In 48 hours, healthy plants, laden with ripening fruit have been turned into dying ones laden with corruption. If you have never seen blight, look closely at the pictures.
I will be spending some of the weekend removing all traces of the plants, fruit and all and piling it on a bonfire to burn. Never ever put blight infected plant material into your compost bins.
On the bright side, I salvaged a whellbarrow full of green and red tomatoes and will be doing something with them tonight as they will not keep raw.
