Blight resistant tomatoes for 2013

[strawberry1]

I am growing ferline this year, inside and out and it all looks very promising. Sturdy healthy plants and a good amount of fruit. I was looking at other blight resistant tomatoes and came across one called `old brooks` which sounds good as I bottle what I can and apparently it is good for preserving  .Anyone tried it or any other one?  I just cannot be doing with the mindset re being so wary of blight on my tomatoes

This year i am trying Losetto down the allotment as it is allegedly blight resistant.

I did 'trial' about 10 different blight resistant varieties last year...but last year there wasn't any blight around.. ::)
So I really cannot say much about their ability to 'resist'..this summer would have been ideal trial year..but as the weather was being so difficult from early on I didn't feel urge to waste any seeds for outdoor growing...which I'm really happy about it now. I cannot see any tomatoes would have managed to grow at all.
Usually I do get some tomato plants germinating from seeds in spent/home made composts that I use outside..but this year there is nothing germinating..nor squashes..just weeds.. ::)

Ah..just noticed.."...for 2013"..well..we'll see how 'swimmingly' this year goes and next summer might be a trial year again.

I have grown Old Brooks and am grwoing it this year. I haven't had blight in my greenhouse at all but blight is usually bad on our site. My greenhouse is simewhat isilated though. I have mnat tonatoes growing outside this year with just a cover over the top of them so I may well get the blight.

I like Old Brooks as a tomato though..good choice.

Last year I grew transplants for our gardeners and focused on blight resistant ones .

I will find my records and get back to you, there were a couple who stood out. Defiant was one.

I have never tried ferline toms so I can't say how blight resistant they are.  I grow 'Outdoor Girl' which is an old variety, as the tomatoes come early so i have usually picked loads before blight strikes, though I not sure if this will work this year as they are still quite small at the moment as it's been rediculously cold and wet

I've also gone for early rather than blight resistant. Growing Latah from Realseeds and they have ripened well outside with some cloche protection since the end of June here in Sheffield. Plenty to eat from 8 plants. Also Red Alert (my own seed and no idea where it came from originally. tasteless compared to Latah, but ripening well.

Thank you all, I am planning ahead rather than being impulsive

I have Ferline F2's out at the moment and in fruit  they seem quite happy apart from the rain /cold

So far Harzfeuer and Harbinger have fallen to blight so they are OUT for next year. My two plants from saved seeds - Lidl vine cherry tomatoes - look healthy but are, like all my plants, very slow in setting fruit. They were lovely last year so I'll persevere next year as I still have enough saved seeds.

This year I grew Ferline outdoors.The plants grew tall and strong but eventually the fruits were devastated by late blight

this year most blight tolerant was Tiny Tim, after removing some affected leaves fruits set and even most of them managed to red. 
Since they do not get leggy at home i will be starting some extra early next year.
Plus I will try some Koralik.
Planning to keep low in 2013.
