Tomato Blight - what do I do now?

Arrgghh leaving my precious tomatoes in the care of my husband last week has resulted in over watering and with the shocking amounts of rain I've now got blight....

My other plants - 5 ft away aren't affected yet - what do I spray them with to prevent the blight from spreading?

And what do I do with the blight affected plants/ripe fruit/unripened fruit?

mine have got ot too. the foliage is all mottled with black and is dying and the tomatoes havent matured yetConfused

Oh no Alypaly - handy gardening chum has had me remove all affected foliage and fruit (don't compost it apparently). Have left unaffected fruit on to mature, and has told me to spray unaffected plants with Dithane (Bayer). I'll see what happens, one positive has come from this - encouragment for DH to build me a green house!

was really looking forward to some small sweet tasty tomatoes but the ones i have had off so far are a really weird texture and not very tasty. Which name of plants did you buy.

Gardeners delight are lovely, and produce lots of fruit.
