Are there any varieties of tomatoes that are late blight resistant
besides Legend? I've been hunting around the net and there seems to be
some promises of new varieties this year but I haven't found a source for
anything except Legend. I'm going to order a pack of Legend seeds but I'd
like to have a few more options.


I hear legend isn't all that great for resistance to blight, new
strains evolve, lots of chemicals is the only solution to blight I
have found, it really sucks!


Even with chemicals, if it rains, you're screwed. Otherwise, train and
trim tomato vine so that it is open to sun and drying winds.

I noticed chemicals give me one/two weeks of protection, rain or not,
it must kill all the fungus/spores on contact as I notice the blight
stops immediately, I guess the spores take a week or so to gather up
their numbers and take hold again
