Yurt Girl,
The potato blight is actually called late blight.
Diversity is no help,in 2009 it struck in the eastern US.It destroyed most of the tomato crop.I believe it also occurred last year.Home gardeners were the main reason it spread so fast !!
It killed every variety of tomato.
Just so you don't think I am picking on you,here is a link to an organic site that will back up my claim !
