Heirloom seeds.

Post #160,320 by admin 6/17/04 8:32:20 PM Reply	Heirloom seeds. Heirloom seeds are seeds that haven't been bred commercially. Many of the strains were grown the same way in the 1800s. [link\|http://www.seedsofchange.com/garden_center/product_details.asp?item_no=S11151&UID=\|Heirloom tomato seeds] - these are the ones we planted a few years ago. The Brandywines are phenomenal - big (1# or more), sweet, juicy, meaty. Eat them like a coreless apple. :-) [link\|http://www.heirloomseeds.com/\|Here's another place] that sells heirloom seeds.

The mechanical harvesters bang the tomatos around, and so can only be used on varieties of tomatos that are fairly resistant to damage. Therefore tasty types of tomatos that don't handle well are not grown commercially. You can find more consequences of mechanical harvesting of tomatos at [link\|http://www.lclark.edu/~soan221/01wlc/AgTechnology/harvester.htm\|http://www.lclark.ed...ogy/harvester.htm].
