Jeff - There are a few hybrid tomatoes that are supposedly RKN resistant but no heirlooms that I've found. I like the taste of First Prize and Lemon Boy, my wife likes Big Beef and none show signs of RKN infestation in my soil. All three taste better than store bought tomatoes but none are in the ballpark with some heirlooms. I'm trialing 12 new hybrids this season and hopefully one or more will be on future grow lists -- tasty, non host for RKNs, and productive. This will only be my third year of Florida gardening so I still have a lot to learn.
