I haven't grown them this year!

As well as Ferline there is Legend and for a beefsteak tomato Fantasio. These are all blight resistant varieties.

Hi LJ, who sells those two varieties as i have,nt come across them before? I lost 50 outdoor toms this year to early blight so any variety that has any resistance will be a real help.
I am growing the Blaby tom in the greenhouse and its producing a grreat crop. I also have a cherry called Mexico Midget and it is also doing great. No diseases on either of these.

Bramble Thompson & Morgan sell Ferline and Legend tomato seeds. At the moment they are on offer as a 'Blight Resistant Duo' here is a link:-

You can also buy Ferline from a few other suppliers.

Fantasio is a blight resistant variety from Suttons Seeds.

You must try saving some of the Blaby seeds for next year Bramble.

I grew Ferline tomatoes last year and had a huge crop. Really nice tomatoes and a good size too. I will definitely grow them next year.
