Question Tomato and Potato troubles - please help!

Hi All

I'm new to this forum and also new to gardening. I really need some help with potatoes and tomatoes that I'm growing in containers.

I've got potatoes in a tub, and tomatoes in a grow bag and in a hanging basket. I'm worried that I might have tomato blight, and perhaps potato blight.

The stems of one of the tomatoes has brown blotches, several of the fruits have brown patches - some from the bottom and some from the top. I've taken those off, and the rest look ok. The bottom leaves are brown and curling. My potato has gone brown and yellow in one of the plants, although the other is still green. The tomato in the hanging basket has some odd little growths on the stems.

What is happening and what should I do? (The growbag did get quite dry at one point).

I've attached some photos - not sure if that is the way to do it.

Would be very grateful for any help.
