Thanks. That’s pretty much what I’ve told my neighbors, but I wanted to verify i was saying the right thing!
Hybrids are generally known for their vigor, early production, numerous production of fruits, ability for transportation over long distance, disease resistance etc..
They are selectively grown, genetically selective, for the above characteristics.
Hierlooms are bred from known genetic lines for flavor ,taste, or disease resistance, and seed reliability to reproduce exact repleacas of the mother plant.
Many 'preppers' suggest using the hybrids first for food production and vitality, and 'Heirlooms' for plant consisistancy thereafter for reliability.
