Non-blighting plants
I've been fighting tomato blight in my garden for a few years. Last year, before I could go bag up the spent tomato plants, ds went out and stomped every leaf right into the dirt. I can now consider the dirt as saturated with blight spores as it's possible to be.
So my new strategy will be to not grow anything blight-able for a few years. So, no tomatoes or potatoes obviously. I suspect squash varieties propagate blight so I'm not doing those. Sunflowers are out, too. I'm thinking every kind of green in existence would be okay. Root veggies: beets, turnips, carrots, parsnips should be okay. Any other thoughts on what I can or shouldn't grow? What about snow peas? Remember, I'm not trying to just grow something that will fruit despite the blight, but won't help the spores propagate at all. |

Were you able to narrow down exactly what kind of blight you have? Not sure if that would be a factor. We're blight-free so far, despite having neighbours and relatives who have it big time. Wishing you every success for a fast elimination!!

I think it's late blight. It came down with a wind from the northeast U.S. a few years ago during a very wet, cold summer. I get some tomatoes before things die too much, but it's persistent.
