   Plant blight-resistant varieties. e.g. mountain-magic etc, or plum   
   regal. Expensive seed, but at least you gat tomatoes.   
      
   With standard varieties it's better if you can plant in a sheltered   
   location where the foliage does not get wet. And obviously you never   
   put a diseased plant in your compost heap.
