Tomato blight?

Gardeners Delight tomatoes grown outdoors in my garden. Is this the dreaded tomato blight? What causes it?

I have had the same problem, it is blight. Our wet summers and high humidity contribute, My greenhouse tomatoes were fine but i lost every last one of the outdoor tomatoes to blight, this year and last. Gogi berry plants have been imported with the disease and I had bought some. Safest to grow gogi berries from seed, just hydrate some dried berries and extract and plant the tiny seeds.Outdoors I am going to grow tomatilloes and cape gooseberries, these keep well and make a good substitute in salads, salsa, and pickles.
