:) I am sooooo surprised, two months ago I had a rant about blight in the greenhouse and losing all my different varieties of tomatoes, stripped leaves off twice and left them to get on with it in disgust, the first lot of toms were blighted, but they have grown out of it,
I'm now picking, Black Cherry,Cherokee Purple, Black Krim,Snow White Cherry, Tommy Toe,Carbon,Scotland Yellow,Harbinger
also grown out of blight,Japanese Black Truffle,Tigerella, Paul Robson, just need more sun to ripen,
and they all taste fab ;D
Hope this helps anyone next year/ a very happy angle shadesx

Same here Shades.. the only ones I lost were Murden Yellow....
;D

I've picked about 10lb of various toms this afternoon, the blight seemed not to spread after mid July just the odd leaf has succumbed so I've had good crops overall. All of my outdoor plants died, including the Blaby and Whippersnappers... :'(
Loads more tom soup, pasta sauce and pasata in the freezer now..... ;D

SAME HERE ;D See my 'against all odds' thread in 'Fun Photos' ;D

Same with mine, the outdoor ones that is. They all got blight, and all bar one are still producing. ??? Usually they'd be dead within a week or two.
I did use Dithane at first, and put their survival down to that, but seeing as you lot have had the same, maybe not?
Early as opposed to late blight perhaps? Any experts out there?

:) all in the greenhouse and two outdoors have made it through blight, the two outdoors are Blue Ridge Mountain and Orange Russian.
All are old varieties which are rampant if you don't chop them back, and I guess they refused to stop growing ;D/ shades x
