Buy heirloom, and save your own seed. Most of the seed sold at box stores is GMO or hybrid crap.
I bought an heirloom tomato at the supermarket. It yielded hundreds of seeds. I dried them and cannot wait to try them out.
My only concern is the harsh environment where I live; it can get really hot and muggy.
Territorial Seed Company sells a lot of non-hybridized seeds and clearly mark which ones they are. I try to buy those first and foremost, although, for my sauce tomatoes, I did get the Heinz variety. I tried them one year and loved them. I had a great crop and the sauce is excellent.
I started doing that last year. This year I’m looking forward to seeing my seeds grow.
“Buy heirloom, and save your own seed.”
Agree with that. Heirlooms are excellent, and some of the heirloom tomatoes are really excellent. We saved some seeds from last year, and will do so again. True of other veggie plants too.
