This meant that the varieties that I planted more of one of - were planted in different rows or areas in the garden. (Instead of being planted beside each other.)

The varieties that did well were:

Accidental Crosses - I have no idea on what F (Filial) generation.
A Grappoli Corbarino
A Grappoli D'Inverno
Chocolate Cherry
Indigo Blue Berries
Indigo Cherry Drops
Japanese Pink Cherry
Kiss The Sky
Medovaya Kaplya
MegaTrusses - not sure on the spelling or if it is 2 words?
Peacevine
Punta Banda
Rebel Yell
Shedra Sliva Tarasenka
Sweetie
WOW

There were many varieties that had no RKN resistance, but the one variety that really surprised me that didn't make it was Big Beef VFFNTA.
I think with future plantings you will find that most of these are not resistant either if RKN is bad enough. My guess is most of these just happened to be planted where the nematodes where not as prevalent. I used to experience the same thing but eventually found that most varieties would succumb to RKN if planted in the wrong spot. I must say I am surprised by Big Beef getting nematodes because it was rarely affected at all except mildly when planted in the worse spots.
