I lost all 16 tomato plants last year to blight, have planted 8 plants in same spot this year and I am now totally drowning in them . Picture of 3 large carrier bags full I picked today here (if it uploads successfully).
Think it is driven by what variety you plant rather than where they are planted, and also the prevailing conditions of course, this year I planted Blush, Crush, Cherry, Plum and Marmande.

The crimson crush/blush/plum varieties are all extremely blight resistant. If you have suffered with blight before then you can grow these and wont suffer. It's looking like two of my tomato plants are starting to get blight. Fruit getting that slightly off yellow colour when ripening.
Bloke from my allotment reckons you should water the ground with some dilute jeyes fluid if you've had blight there.
I've lost all 7 tomato plants to blight. But a few of the fruits look ok, are they safe to eat?
Any tips, I have heard I shouldn't replant tomatoes in the same place for 4 years?
