Last year was my first year to plant an heirloom tomato. Wow, was I glad I did so! I planted a Brandywine Heirloom Tomato for slicing. It was so delicious. Whenever I eat a homegrown or organic tomato, I wonder how it is that in our “progress” and “advancement” as a society, we have gotten so “smart” that we can now mass produce flavorless vegetables covered in pesticides. What are we doing to ourselves? All that to say, if you want to eat tomatoes this season that are pesticide free and full of flavor, try growing an heirloom tomato.
Here is a helpful guide that lists all the heirloom varieties and the days to maturity. Here is the link (from portlandnursery.com):
