I have a terrible time with septoria every summer. I read somewhere that seed producers are working on a tomato variety that is resistant to it. Has anyone heard about this or are there already tomato varieties that are resistant. I'm love to have good tomatos in '09.

I assume that you mean Septoria leaf spot caused by the fungus Septoria lycopersici. No resistant culivars that I am aware of, but it is easily controled with fungicides such as Daconil. http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/plantdiseasefs/450-711/450-711.html http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/factsheets/Tomato_Septoria.htm http://pmo.umext.maine.edu/factsht/Septom.htm
