Is this blight ?

I am not sure but this tomato plant is not looking so good. I have never had this issue to my knowledge but there is a first time for everything. They are fed weekly and are on a regular watering schedule in pots.

no expert, but that looks an awful lot like the beast I battle about this time every year. I've always assumed its early blight...

except, based on the cage and the fact this is a tomato forum, I'm guessing its not a tater plant...

Not sure....I usually just cut off affected branches and use a copper based fungicide. I *think* it may help some...

But generally, once it shows up, it's there to stay...

Well next time your in Banff there will be some brand spanken new road and bridges on the way there :)

It is kind of crazy I think sometime the world is so big and then small thinks like that make it seem a whole lot smaller :)

Hope you had a good time in Banff an look forward to having you again!!
