    Hi
    Last year I got blight big time in my garden, ruining all my tomatoes, including the ones in the greenhouse - and my solanum climber ( potato relative)
    There is something you can spray to help prevent this but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is!
    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    What you need is bordeaux mix - you must have had it bad to get into the greenhouse last year, as its wind borne spread.

    well to put it bluntly she's an overly nosy old bag who cant help but interfere with other peoples business:thumb: and she doesn't like people telling her it to her face which i just so happened to do when she wound me up. in fact most of our neighbors wont have anything to do with her at all

    Bleach on the borders, thats worse than the old bag down the road who tried to take me to court over parking on the verdge.....

    I ignored her till the third solicitors letter then conceded, very satisfiying as it cost here several £1000s and ****ed her off no end.

    The funny thing is that Ive since put warning cones along the verdge to stop parking and have not cut it for the 12 months since she proved her ownership. The long grass will wind her up more than the odd ocasion I parked outside yet shes too tight to pay anyone to cut it and in anycase she'd have a job as Im the main local contractor !!!
