Chapman displays the most leaf curl of any variety in the tomato garden, and with 6 tomatoes is the worst fruit setter.
And that's it, knock on wood.

As someone who fights gray mold on my black tomatoes every year I found the only other type that were affected badly by gray mold were the Green When Ripe varieties. The bleach spray mentioned in the sticky is very effective treating it if used early and followed regularly by a copper spray. The trick to defeating gray mold is to fight it early and every time it shows. If you wait too long to treat gray mold the disease it can quickly become unstoppable.
