Blight annihilated my tomato plants this season (especially the romas pictured here). I aggressively pruned and fertilized and it’s got some really impressive, healthy looking regrowth with flowers. Is it just a matter of time before the blight destroys these too or can you have a successful harvest after blight?
When covered in blight, romas from these plants didn’t ripen properly and were ultimately a waste.

The fungus saps the strength of the plant and stresses it out. I would keep spraying the plant to keep the blight from coming back.
The blight is likely to spread if you don’t keep fighting it. Personally, I just stop fighting, get what I can, and plan for next year.
That is impressive regrowth I wouldn’t think that’s possible. Blight usually starts at the leaves and makes its way down through the stem, blight resistant tomato varieties are able to slow it down greatly. But I think as long as it doesn’t get to the main stem you should be okay
