If all you know is hybrid, you can’t begin to appreciate the quality and taste of the heirloom varieties.

Capin Kirk,”you can’t begin to appreciate the quality and taste”

Your opine is spot on as to the lose of quality, the not so up front featuares of plants modified to kill, are also troubeling.

You can come down off of your high horse, guy. My family has been eating home grown tomatoes before anyone referred to them as “heirlooms”. There was no such thing as hybrids 50 years ago. In my garden in PA Early Girls grow best. Jet Stars are second best. Heirloom varieties have low yield and are prone to blight. I enjoyed my last vine ripened tomatoes in early November when “heirlooms” would have been a fond memory.
