I got Fusarium Wilt in my area. I have yet to find a variety that doesn't

That's a nasty one. Did you try varieties that are said to be
resistant, or did you just try standard ones?

Amelia and BHN 602 are supposed to be among the most resistant. I've
never heard of BHN 602, but Amelia is popular around here.

Since we have a few serious tomato growers here, you may want to know
that it's seed-buying time at Rutgers for classic New Jersey tomatoes:

These are F1 hybrids and you won't find them in seed stores. I've
grown the Ramapos, and they're excellent. Cambell's 146 (KC146) is the
one you ate in Cambell's tomato soup as a kid. It's claimed to have
excellent flavor as a table tomato, too.
