Today I went to pick up some additional tomatoes at a local farm near my house. I started talking tomatoes with the very nice woman and she warned me not to can or freeze blight ridden tomatoes. Now, I'm freaking out :barnie

I just made a large batch of canned salsa and frozen tomato sauce. The tomatoes used were a combo of tomatoes purchased @ a Farmers Market and tomatoes from my plants. The tomatoes I used were NOT blight ridden themselves, but the leaves are. Any tomatoes that appear to have blight or any type of issue, gets thrown in the garbage (not to the chickens and not in my compost pile).

Should I be freaking out? Should I throw it all out? What about you guys?

Everything I have read, says the tomatoes are fine- it is the plants that are the problem. I would not worry. I think if the tomato looks firm, and healthy, you will be fine! Enjoy!
