The Early Blight's been worse again this year, and I still refuse to try Bordeaux Mixture but have been picking off the blighted leaves for the last 2 months.   Got some tomatoes, but what a dismal crop on plants that are now nearly dead, even though the Late Blight hasn't hit them this time.

Over the last few years I've been using Master, Marmande, a yellow type tomato and some saved seed cherries but this year all of them have suffered abysmally.  I'm looking for blight resistant varieties for next year: anybody got any ideas?
