[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Arkansas Tider :" Celebrity .. was bred in the 80’s for fresh market sales in the South
because of its ability to withstand the Southern summer heat.
It is one of my favorite slicers and is my most asked for tomato."

Good Call !! You provide what the market wants , and not just what is available!
That's what happens when you start your own plants to meet consumer demand.

Arkansas Tider:"There are some new F1 varieties that claim resistance to early and late blight,
but you would be more satisfied with cardboard soaked in Campbell’s tomato juice."
Exactly so ! F-1 varieties are designed for a speciic purpose, generally grown for customer demand in disease areas, or commercially available for food processors
or or extended harvest season for canning purposes.
It sounds like you already know your market. Well done,.. and Good on ya !
