Chillin' In The Garden
Don't confuse all hybrids with tomatoes grown for supermarkets. Hybrid tomatoes that were/are developed for home gardners are a whole lot different than those you get in the supermarket. I have a limited amount of space and live in an area that gets a low amount of heat compared to the rest of the country so growing heirlooms is pretty much a waste of time for me. I might get 3 or 4 ripe full sized heirlooms if I'm lucky or in the same space get 25 -30 Jet Stars which are darned tasty. We do grow Stupice, an extra early heirloom with mundane tasting tomatoes a little bit bigger than a golf ball - when the Jet Stars start coming, the Stupices get forgotten.
