    Has anyone tried any of the new varitites of blight resistant tomato's that are now on sale in the garden centres as seeds?

    We heard on our local radio station gardening programme that there are a couple of new ones so have been out and got a packet of each.They are Ferline F1 Hybrid £2.49 and the other one is a beefsteak one called Legend £2.19.Both of them are by Thompson and Morgan.

    There is also a polish one about called I think Coralick but not sure if that is the correct name and who actually sells them as the presenter never said.

    We grew tomato's with no problems in our new garden for two years with no problems but after the wet summers of the last two years we have lost all our plants and fruit to the dreaded blight in both our garden and allotment and wasn't going to bother wasting our time any more but are willing to try once more.Ours will be grown in the open as our greenhouse won't get watered while we are away so can't risk it as our neighbours are rather forgetful not being greenfingered like us:p

    Would love to hear if anyone else has tried these varities in the past or are intending to this year...Thanks:)

    I've heard about them Kandy but never tried them. I'll be very interested in how you get on this year.
