I've been compiling a list of resistant varieties, and I have to admit that at this point I'm actually looking forward to growing some out. There are also some control methods that I haven't tried (reflective mulch), but will next season. My current list of varieties reads:
1. Top Gun (currently not available...but next season is a ways away yet)
2. Plum Regal (ditto)
3. Bolseno
4. Talladega
5. Sophya (looks pretty at least)
6. Super Cromo F1, Mountain Glory, Amelia, Bella Rosa, several others.
I plan to try the top 3-4 next year.
Between using resistant varieties and trying to protect some favored OPs, I'm optimistic for next year despite some real bummer moments this one.
