tomatoes in a cold climate
hi everyone, i am a new member so hello to all! this year i didn't do tomatoes as i had a bad experience with blight a while back. however i would like to try again and wondered if anyone could help with the following, how to control blight and as i am in a northern climate can you suggest hardy varieties that would stand up to being grown outside in a chillier climate! thanx izi

Izi this is an international forum, I would guess most of us haven't been to Northern Ireland so how about filling in some details about the conditions. How many months of summer do you get without any frost or freezing? What would be the typical overnight minimum and daily maximum temperature during that period? David |

There's real variability in northern climates. I recall reading that if the nighttime temperature falls below 45F, fruit will not set. Perhaps some of you guys can corroborate that. |
