can you eat blight tomatoes

by Millie

I have tomato plants with the yellow leaves, and black spots. I have a silly question. If these plants produce fruit, is it safe to eat and process? I have removed all the effected leaves. and removed the from the garden as well.

Thanks

Doug says that yes, if you can harvest the ripe tomatoes, you can eat them. The early blights won't kill the plant but the late blight will kill it before you can harvest.

Hope that helps.

I am sick because my beautiful tomatoes have blight too! I also wanted to know if you can eat the unaffected tomatoes. I was planning on learning to can this year.....not now. We'll be lucky to get a few to eat. I'm so sad.

Thanks for your input. I have never had an issue with Blight..and intend to move the garden next year. Is there a treatment I need for the soil?
