A new blight resistant determinate cherry tomato available from most seed
merchants. Anyone grown it yet?
Usually only grow Ferline and Fantasio, both blight resistant, and
occasionally Legend which only has a little blight resistance. I'm
interested in this new cherry type though.

Found Losetto in the local Garden Centre today. There are at least
three seed merchants selling them but on this ocassion at 6 seeds per
pack and they ain't cheap. (£3.something.)

'Er Indoors flashed her birthday garden tokens and we got two packs
and another pack of Ferline for good measure so I'm relatively
relaxed. Watch this space.

The Blight has arrived. Golden Sunrise has succumbed, as has Black
Russian. Ferline, Roma and San Marzano have so far not visibly been
affected. I'll cull those that are ripe on the morrow, the rest go
for destruction.

I must say that the Ferlines have been most fecund this year with
substantial fruits, almost like beefsteak tomato. I'll sow them again
next year but I'll try and get the timing sorted better.
