I'm not having much luck lately............it's either Caterpillars eating all my Radish or....

A few my poor outdoor Alicante Tomato plants on my patio have been destroyed
in a matter of just 2-3 days yeah that's how quick it was....devastatingly quick.
Iv'e cut all infected plants right down to the grow bags hopefully I can save the remaining plants
I think the recent rain downpours hasn't helped, considering it's August our weather is totally up the spout!
Ok here in the UK our weather is notorious for wind and rain but this is supposed to be Summer it's hard enough trying to grow Tomatoes here because of our inclement weather conditions are always going to be against you.
Thankfully Iv'e had some lovely Toms from my glass grow house because obviously they are protected from the wind and rain.
these here in glasshouse are hopefully safe Crossing Fingers!

I must say it's very deflating to see the devastation the disease does to your beloved Toms which I have grown from seed and how quickly this fungus kills. I'm petrified this Blight will get in glasshouse imagine that........
Oh my goodness!
I'm hoping I can eat the green Toms which I managed to salvage any ideas would be appreciated.

Pictures below is Not very pleasant viewing I'm afraid.....I feel like screaming!

The only way to deal with Late blight in wet weather is through the use of systemic fungicides. It's either that or losing the plants, not but's or if's: copper and even zinc work well but they are quickly washed from the plant in the rain.

Pyraclostrobin and Cyazofamid work reasonably well against Late blight and are not washed away by rain, provided you can find them for sale.
