I am once again growing Losetto, which are blight-resistant, and Sungold, which also seem to resist blight for most of the season. I had a huge crop from Losetto last year and a decent amount from Sungold. The blight didn't strike until very late in the season, by which time I was past caring and almost glad to see the end of the harvest. I still have some tomato sauce, passata, and oven-dried tomatoes in the freezer.
I sowed mine this week, and they're on the kitchen window sill. Once established, they will go in an unheated mini-greenhouse, as long as there are no frosts. I have always sown them around this time. Some years the plants get too big before the weather warms up at night; other years they are only just big enough to go out by late May or early June. It just depends on what sort of Spring we have (I'm in Devon).

I will not grow any tomatoes this year. Previous 2 years I lost most of crops because of blight. I will miss home grown tomatoes obviously.
