I was able to keep some going and don't know if it was my efforts or that a few plants were stronger. I used a strong garlic based infusion to feed the tomatoes with, along with other herbs like yarrow and comfrey. i don't know if it's the same blight, but certain ones will stay in the soil for several years.

Kate Has anyone had any experience with blight resistant varieties? Oregon State claims to have developed a variety called Legend that is late blight resistant. Is it available to the public yet? |
