That dreaded B word all tomato and potato grows dread has finally shown it's evil head inside the greenhouse. Thought I might have gotten lucky, nobody is immune it seems!

Some of my greenhouse toms have started rotting from the top..first the stamens go brown and then the top end of the tom rots. I was told this is the beginning of B****t!*! I would be delighted if it wasn't but taking no chances I am checking almost hourly and any suspect toms are being destroyed. Don't really think it is B****t as the leaves and some trusses don't appear affected. Any advice appreciated.

It's all very difficult cos a lot of tom problems look very similar...........
google blight and get this.......
Then google magnesium deficiency and get this...........
both look pretty much the same to me..........Last edited by binley100; 06-08-2012, 10:21 PM.S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig

Sometimes google isn't really that helpful!!
I've had blight on my spuds which have all now been lifted and now it's hit the outdoor toms. Believe me it don't look like either of those pics and it spreads very rapidly once it hits. When it's on the tomatoes it very quickly affects the fruit so I now have a big heap heap of green tomatoes and I really don't need any more chutney!!

Binley, the top picture you posted looks like what my tomatoes have got in the greenhouse but I chopped a load of leaves off to let air circulate after the GH was full of condensation.
I think it's mould though, it hasn't stopped the slugs/snails munching on them though.Choccy
