Having had Tomato Blight this year like I've never had it before, I searched
the Internet for any sign of blight resistant tomatoes. Some sites say there
isn't such a thing while others say there is and some offer seeds.



I offer the following information and three extracts from a couple of
well-known seed suppliers' sites, for those who may be interested.



I'd welcome the opinion and experiences of others in the group as I love
tomatoes (a whole pan-full, fried slowly and served with smoked bacon - now
I'm drooling! (LOL)) and would like to do better next year.



Ferline (from Thompson & Morgan) In recent trials Ferline has shown
impressive blight tolerance in a garden situation. Also resistant to
fusarium and verticillium wilt.



Legend (from Thompson & Morgan) In recent trials showing impressive blight
tolerance in a garden situation. Legend was bred in the USA by Dr. Jim
Baggett at Oregon State University. Both Thompson & Morgan and Dr Baggett
believe Legend could be the answer to many gardeners' prayers to help
overcome this most destructive disease.



Fantasio F1 (From Suttons Seeds) 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.



Has anyone any experience of these seeds?



I searched the sites of two other seed suppliers (Marshalls and Mr
Fothergill's) but they don't list any such varieties. I've emailed both of
them to ask whether, in their opinion, such varieties exist and, if they do,
will the seeds be in the supplier's catalogue next year.



If anyone's interested, I'll give their replies when (and if!!!) I get them.



Best regards,



John
