Hubby likes the heirlooms, because of the seed savings. However, for some reason when he goes to the local ranch/feed store he doesn’t ask too many questions.
Example what is the most popular corn that people like to eat? Answer: peaches and cream - ok I’ll take some of that.
Example what is a bush bean that can be used for both green beans and dried beans. That one? ok I’ll take it.
When he gets home he doesn’t usually know the name, and he never knows if it’s heirloom or GMO free.
He does know that it’s really cheap.
Mr. T has always preferred buying transplants, but if it wasn’t for him, I’d never have learned how to grow vegetables. We’ve been on this journey together, and it’s been so much fun. :)

HA! LOL, my husband did the same until this year. Now he has “caught on”.
And oh, the only tomatoes I put on “my” side of the garden this year were three heirlooms and one hybrid, the heirlooms are still green and have little green tomatoes, in spite of two frosts, and the hybrid was totally dried up and done. In NY! Says something I think.
