Most blights are caused by long periods of wet, cool weather as the fruits are ripening. I had a blight of some sort on my beefsteak tomatoes (late bearers) last summer, due to precisely those conditions. I am not sure, but I think, for tomatoes, anyway, it is more likely on indeterminates.

There are products on the market that contain bacillius subtilis, are rated organic and are supposed to cure the blight. Look on Gardeners.com, which has identifying photos, explanations and a lot of information on use.

The best cure is hot, sunny weather.

Thanks for the info. It’s over 100 degrees here now and my beefsteaks are just getting started. Hopefully they don’t have any problems.

Makes perfect sense. New York’s had nothing but rain for months, so I’ve heard. Pray for drought:)
