I’d wager dollars to doughnuts one of my heirloom tomatoes grown in my garden would outscore any of the same variety tomato grown in an “indoor” setting.
I’ve purchased heirloom tomatoes grown in this method as a way of sampling new varieties of heirlooms. IMHO, very little difference other than appearance with the grocery store hybrid varieties. They are just as tasteless.
FWIW, my heirlooms out produce my hybrids two to one.
(I grown hybrids, too, as MOST of my heirlooms succumb to the wilt before seasons end)
Agreed. And I bet our outdoor grown, heirloom veggies have more nutrients as well. We watched Back to Eden on YouTube the other evening and I’m hooked. We’re going to convert our beds to wood chips. It’s a pretty cool documentary for gardeners.
