As I live in semi-desert conditions, I hardly ever see diseases that
are found in damp areas so I searched on tomato blight and came up
with several interesting websites and information.

As control is different for the two different blights you might
encounter
you might consider looking for blight resistant varieties, mulching,
drip watering,
planting in an airy spot where dew and such evaporates rather quickly.

Mentions possible blight resistant varieties

http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC2217.htm
States there are no late blight resistant varieties.

Both blights can show up early or late in the season regardless of
their name.

The 2nd page of this site says they are seeing good results trying to
breed
resistance into plants.
