blight

[stanhol]

Can someone shed some light on how I managed to get tomato blight in my GH and not in the veg garden?

Would it simply be that I kept it too damp in there? But where did the spores come from? My GH was bought secound hand at the beginning of the season, could it have come from this, I must confess I didnt really give it a good clean as I was TOOOOOOooooo excited about getting started!

I have removed all offending fruits and leaves, the tops of the plants still look really healthy as do some of the lower trusses. Is it ok to still eat the fruit if they show no sign of blight?

Many thanks .

Now that's a new one on me!!
Think you may have hit the nail on the head though!
I have eaten toms from my outdoor plants which are blight ridden, but they certainly don't keep more than a few days, and if they had any brown on the skin I'd discard them as they have a strange flavour.
Not died yet!
I microwaved and froze my red toms off the blight ridden plants so they had no chance of going brown, and then used them during the winter.
Would have preferred to have eaten them fresh but it seemed the only way to rescue the crop.
What do other people do??

I make tomato sauce which is very handy for all kinds of things and freeze it.
If you want a recipe let me know,my brother in law told me how to do it as he
is italiian.

A tomato sauce recipe, especially an authentic Italian one, would be great! Can you post it in What's Cooking please?
