See my website Don at http://www.selectedplants.com/ and you will find that I can throw rocks into Mississippi.

Heirlooms in general are not better than hybrids. There are some heirlooms, however, that are dramatically better flavored than hybrids. Brandywine (Sudduth) is one of the best. Aunt Ruby's German Green consistently hits in the top 5. Aunt Gertie's Gold is the best flavored variety I've grown from the Yellow/Gold/Orange group. Andrew Rahart's Jumbo Red is extremely good. Nepal is another thats consistently very high. Heidi is one of the best producing paste types I've grown and decent flavored to boot. Opalka is a long somewhat hot pepper shaped tomato with lots of flavor for topnotch sauces. I personally like Marianna's Peace for its exceptional production and very good flavor. Others have not had the same results which I think can be attributed to differences in soil and sunlight exposure of my plants vs theirs.
