Reply To: Blight comes to Sunny Exmouth

I only have one tomato plant this year, a bush with largish fruits, Tumbler I think. It has thus far no sign of blight. I’ve seen in past years that bush toms including Maskotka and Tumbling Tom (tasteless) were pretty much blight free. Maybe bush ones are more resistant, or maybe the fact that they were all in pots against an exposed but warm south facing wall helps. I suppose I should try a vine or two against the wall to see. It could be that humidity from the soil is the key, and an exposed location is better.
