All my young tomato plants succumbed to blight introduced into the little greenhouse by some plants given by a friend - a fortnight later all had Early Blight and had to be destroyed, with the exception of the Crimson Crush plants which had been in the greenhouse in contact with the others.
They grew into lovely strong plants and are fruiting well.
Thanks for the recommendation. I have had no blight so far on my Sungold, which just don't seem to get much blight, and Losetto, which are bligh resistant. I am bringing in pounds a day now, and every meal has to include tomatoes. I may add Crimson Crush to my next year's plan.
Mountain magic for me, superb taste and offer good blight resistance. After losing most of my outdoor tomatoes last year I've had no blight this year growing tomatoes in the same soil as last year- which is usually a bad idea with blight! The other difference this year is that I've planted them further apart, definitely I overcrowded them last year and I think the lack of ventilation leads to damp and often blight (and/or fungus).

I'd recommend trying Crimson Crush.

I'll be growing them again next year.
