Black Tomato Plants

Hi all,

All my tomato plants went black and mouldy as did the fruits, is this some sort of blight due to the wet weather?

 

Probably potato blight weyms.It starts with brown patches on the leaves.Stems show blackened patches.Brown shrunken patches on fruit then they rot.My book says to spray with mancozeb as soon as the plant has been stopped but there`s no treatment once the disease has taken hold.
I`m having the same trouble myself but so far only on the leaves.I did have it last yr but still managed to get a few tomatoes,so i havn`t given up yet.

 

Hi weyms
I think you might be right about the wet weather on your tomato fruits because this has happened to mine in the past when I over-watered them, I am less generous with the watering can now and don't have the problem

 

Thank you to you both.

I have had too throw them out, I supose its to late now to try again?

 

Our garden centres still have some tomato plants for sale. If you can find plants that look healthy then it's worth a try. We might yet get some sun!
