“Blight resistant tomatoes. - again”

Browsing through Marshalls catalogue this afternoon I noticed they are offering an improved variety of Gardeners Delight called Gardenening Delight, F1 hybrid which has “good disease resistance”. 6 seeds for £3.29.

But they don’t say against which diseases they are resistant! I suppose all of us are really looking for good blight resistant tomatoes but this is such a vague phrase that I wonder whether the seeds are worth the money. Last summer my outdoor Moneymakers resisted blight longer than my Ferline which are marketed as being blight resistant!

Blimey Primrose at that price they should be resistant to everything! How weird not elaborating - can you e-mail them? Also they are F1 so you will be buying them every year as well.

Sounds like a money making exercise
