I agree with you on the heirloom. Just a different tomato altogether. A few years back my son and daughter-in-law, who live in Virginia, gave me some seed that were from the Thomas Jefferson era--items grown at Monticello. Included were some Brandywine seed. I planted the seed, potted the sprouts, planted, and harvested some fantastic BIG tomatoes. Last year I ordered Brandywine seed for Tomato Growers--what I got was nothing like the Jeffersonian, and they were not good. Are there different types of Brandywine?

Regarding the Better Boy, last year I started BB from seed and bought Celebrity from store. It seems the BBs survived the best during what was a tough year for me. Oh, the no good so-called Branywines survived.

This year: (1) planting only tomatoes that I have grown from seed (2) At planting I placed a section of a milk carton around each plant, with a little of the carton above the ground (3) gonna put a lot of marigolds in with the tomatoes.
