Default Blight Resistant Tomatoes

Whilst looking at the Suttons site I noticed....

Tomato F1 Fantasio

Good Blight resistance - A deliciously flavoured variety, ideal for outdoor
growing, bearing a good crop of round fruits up to 200g (½ lb) in weight.
Good Blight tolerance helps ensure that the leaves stay green and healthy!
Shows resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Verticilium and Fusarium Wilts,
and Nematodes too!

Features: For Cultivation Under Glass Or Outdoors. This variety is resistant
to Greenback.
Cultu For greenhouse crops, sow February/April under glass 18-21ºC
(65-70ºF). Grow in well prepared borders, large pots or growing bags,
removing laterals as they appear. For outdoor crops, sow April under glass
18-21ºC (65-70ºF), Grow in warm, sunny positions in well prepared, moisture
retentive soil allowing 45-60cm (1½-2') between plants, and water regularly
in dry periods. (16-18 weeks maturity).

So there is now two resistant Tomatoes at least, "Ferline" and "Fantasio"
