Hi. I'm having problem with my tomotoes. Last year they were attacked overnight by blight and I found them blackened on the vine. This year it seems to be a different problem.
They were all fine yesterday, although it's been a really poor crop, but when I went to the greenhouse this morning I found all the tomatoes on the floor like fallen leaves in autumn. There was a bit of mould on one of the stems as well.
Do you have any idea what this might be? It's really putting me off trying to grow any next year.

Thanks so much. Last year was the first time I've ever had the dreaded blight so I wasn't sure if that was the problem again. I'll give the house a good clean :)

Hello, my tomatoes are beginning to fall to the ground too. I expect this to be honest in October, as the end of the season. Blight shows as grey mould on the stems so probably they have blight again, I guess the leaves are yellowing too. You could clear the greenhouse, give it a good clean with Jeyes Fluid and hope the blight spore is killed and try again next year.
