     even resistant plants may not keep it away entirely.  it   
   just helps.  here it is so endemic that i have no hope of   
   ever keeping a tomato plant green much past mid-August.   
      
     i've eaten parts of three ripe tomatoes (they all had BER)   
   and one entire green tomato that somehow got knocked off a   
   plant and it was too nice to throw it away.  a little butter   
   and garlic salt and microwaved for 3 minutes and that was   
   some good eats.  :)
