Ravencroft, it sounds like you are referring more to "late blight" than TSWV with your reference to soil borne and "very wet spring", etc.
And Patti, you're right, "resistance" doesn't mean a plant will be immune to something but rather means it will put up with it longer. If I remember correctly the USDA states if a plant produces an acceptable crop before succumbing to a disease it is considered resistant. Go figger, eh?
Farmerdill, glad you offered some varieties that survive or grow to production. I hope they figure out one day just what makes them survive longer, or impervious to the thrips. Any ideas?
