Once again blight has attached my tomatoes ,I’ve pulled around 30 tomatoes off that are showing signs and discarded them most of my plants are leafless as the first sign of a leaf getting the brown look it’s cut off and put in the incinerator I’ve also sprayed the soil with jeyes fluid to try and kill the spores the tomatoes at present live on to fight this plague I’ve also pulled a lot of tomatoes off and washed them thinking I might just be able to save these for eating ,my question is , I did a quick google search on the most blight resistant tomatoe seeds thinking ahead for next year, one of the seeds that came up was Shirley f1 which is one I am growing at present ,this started me thinking ,it’s probably why my tomatoes are still growing if I kept a couple and used them to get seeds would the plants grown from those seeds be more blight resistant than a new packet
