I have a 17 ft green house and have got 25 tomato plants in a staggered row down one side. Are they too close together. Will I encourage blight by pacing them in so much. They are a mix of brandywine heritage tomatoes, Alisa Craig, and Shirley. I could move some of them outside against a south facing wall. I already have about 8 plants outside. The Alisa Craig and Shirley. I have never had blight before and would be gutted if I got it now.

If they are zig-zagged you should be ok but you will have to be vigilant with removing armpits & bottom leaves.sigpic�Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,�

Congestion inside us more likely to lead to botryis due to lack of air circulation
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

>>> I've crammed a fair few into my GH ..... When they're still fairly small they look ok, but as they grow and fill-out, they soon get overwhelming >>>
I'm determined to stay on top of them tho - as almost all germinated I had far too many, really, gave a few away but had to compost some ..... it was heartbreaking ....
So, hoping with plenty of 'hacking' away at unnecessary bottom leaves, armpits- I might get away with it....~~~ Gardening is medicine that does not need

The plants in the greenhouse should be pretty safe from blight as long as you keep water off the foliage and keep the air flowing, because any spores that find their way in can't grow and develop on dry leaves. It's only if everything gets too crowded the humidity goes up and the leaves become susceptible to blight or botrytis.
