Title: Blight resistant toms?
Post by: grannyjanny on June 26, 2014, 09:02:29
We have blight on our site. Some people have removed diseased halms others have still got them on. I have some blight resistant tomatoes, is it worth planting them at the plot or am I asking for trouble? Is thee anything I can do to protect them?

Most years we have blight on our site and I have planted blight resistant toms. The blight resistant ones eventually succumb to blight but it does take longer for them to be affected compared to the regular tomatoes. For me the blight resistant ones give a little more time for growth and ripening of the toms.
