| Survived late blight! Yield was quite good. Fruit are smallish and thin walled, with very good but not excellent flavor. |

| We started using Defiant last year. The seeds were purchased from Johnny\'s Selected Seeds. We treated them as a row crop and mulched with straw. These plants are very very disease resistant. The tomatoes are very good tasting and the plants are quite vigorous. All and all a very good tomato variety, especially where late blight is a problem. |

| Did quite well under extremely wet conditions. Grew 24 plants. At times during hurricane Irene and then Lee they were standing in a pond, but we still got a harvest. Medium size fruit, very tasty. Some yellow shoulder, but I think that\'s a potassium deficiency in our soil. Not particularly early--Stupice was producing 2-3 weeks earlier--but a good main-season variety that is disease resistant. |
