Default Blight resistant Tomatoes.

Does anyone else grow these outside? As usual we planted Ferline, Legend and
Lesotto (could not get any Fantasio). Unusually all have died of blight this
year and the only tomatoes left growing are the self sown ones out on the
plot which so far are not showing any signs of blight and are covered in
fruit. They are obviously from last years Lesotto (which is F1) but they do
seem to be more resistant than the original, perhaps they crossed with one
of the others. I will be saving seed!
Is Blight becoming more infective or are there more strains about?
