which tomatoes do well in your polytunnel. (Mine is unheated)

I've had a terrible year with blight reaching the plants in the PT but wonder if i could have reduced the risk by growing certain types rather than others.

This has been the first year i have grown tom's in the tunnel.

all toms do well indoors. the trick to keeping an indoor crops healthy is ventilation. blight in particular will thrive in humid conditions so keep those doors open even overnight during the summer even during the winter indoor crops need to breathe.

Must have been bad luck than as i did all the above. A guy two plots down didn't destroy his outside blight attacked tom's so i guess unless i kept the doors shut there was nothing I could do.
