Tomatoes vs blight
« on: August 10, 2007, 10:05:57 »
I grew about 12 different varieties of tomato outdoors this year, and all but one variety has been hit by blight.  The only one left standing, and seemingly not affected is the Purple Calabash, even though they were next to the others.  This variety seems to have some resistance to blight, so I was wondering what other varieties of tomatoes people have found to resist blight.

I had Black Russian and Gardener's Delight, which were pretty susceptible.
Alicante seemed to show a bit more resistance, but was still affected.

I'll definitely be considering blight-resistant varieties next year.. been a bad year for blight most places in the UK, it seems.. :/

Red debaro is the only one that has survived but it has not cropped well.
What blight resistant types have you got in mind flufflyg?
