Hi NGG, sorry to hear about the Tomatoes but it has been a very bad blight year.

I was thinking along those lines myself and thought it would be interesing if Grapes posted the varieties they had grown and noted what they did to prevent blight and which varities showed the higest resistance to blight in the hope that we all may get some Tomatoes.

I will start the ball rolling.....

Moneymaker disease resistant?
Ferline F1
Ledgend, supposed to have a good resistance to blight
Cerise (Cherry)

The first signs were on Moneymaker followed by Ledgend, Ferline and finally Cerise.

They were all grown in the open under individual perforated plastic sleeves. They were not sprayed with anything and feed with Comfrey juice. Blight struck at the end of August but once it had set in it spread very rapidly and affected all the tomatoes so I was not able to ripen any off the plants.

Blight struck my potatoes in June so the plastic sleeves must have given some protection
but next year I think that I will devise some other sort of protection from the rain etc. and possibly spray with Bordeaux mixture.
