Last year and the year before was dreadful for tomatoes. I lost all mine too and for years past I have been giving them away by the bagful as we have had more than we can eat. Everyone on my allotment site (270 plots) had the same problem - the dull wet summer was just perfect for tomato blight. Try again. "Ferline" is supposed to resisit blight but I have no experience of it. My favourite is "Sweet 1 Million" - lots of small but delicious tomatoes.

Last year I planted some 'Tumbling tom' cherry tomato plants and although the weather was not great they cropped well and did not suffer any disease. I planted them in some tall containers but they are equally ok in hanging baskets. I did not grow them from seed but bought them as small plants for 75p each from my local garden centre. Good luck.
