Thanks for the info.

I avoid hybrid plants cause I can’t save the seeds.

However, I’m going to save the tomatoes from my best plants for seeds for next year. Maybe eventually I can find some that are somewhat blight resistant.

That’s where the problem comes in with Heirlooms. However - they’ve GOT to be tough as nails in order to have survived so long.

Puzzling! :)

As for Heirlooms, the best tomatoes I’ve grown with some disease resistance have been:

Cherokee Purple (LOVE!)
Brandywine
Amish Paste
Constoluto Genovese (LOVE!)
Mr. Stripey
Black Krim
Arkansas Traveler
