Has anyone any views (as if!) on blight resitant pots.? Are they Genetically modified?

We grew some 2 yrs ago and they were utterly tasteless. I understand there were many more varieties available this year- hopefully there should be more posts on their success soon??
Try searching for it on the above titles-should be on one of my replies too ( sorry would look it up for you butgot guests to sort out as we speak!!)

Never grown any of the Sarpo varieties. But I do grow Piccasso & I have grown Ambo both of which are supposed to have some blight resistance. They are OK I dropped the Ambo this year to try something else as they are similar looking to Picasso and I like to grow a white & a red if I can. To the best of my knowledge they aren't GM as the Sarpo one you can get thru Garden Organic (HDRA) and I know they wouldn't sell anything that was GMntg
Never be afraid to try something new.

Seriously though the following are all supposed to offer some kind of resistance to the 2 types of blight:
FOLIAGE BLIGHT:ORLA, PREMIERE, Cosmos, Nadine, Cara, Golden Wonder, Kerrs Pink, Kondor, Lady Balfour, Pentland Dell, Pentland Squire, Romano, Santé, Verity
TUBER BLIGHT:COLLEEN, ORLA, Cosmos, Nicola, Cara, Golden Wonder, Kondor, Lady Balfour, Picasso, Record, Santé, Valor
The main breakthrough is the Sarpo varieties from Hungary......try web search for latest info / opinion.
