Default Heirloom tomatoes

Several people have recommended Brandywine to me, but I haven't tried it
yet. Got seeds, though!

Cindy, I'll be trying several heirlooms this year (in San Antonio) that I
haven't tried before, including two types of Brandywines. And here's a
tomato I couldn't resist trying, even though it's a hybrid. I found it in
the Mid-Season section of tomatogrowers.com:

"Solar Set VFF Hybrid #3567 (30 seeds) $2.95
A heat-tolerant variety developed by the University of Florida. Sets fruit
well even in high temperatures (92 degree day; 72 degree night) and high
humidity. Because there is such good set, plants yield very large amounts of
fruit. Bright red tomatoes are 8 to 9 ozs. with a delicious, full tomato
flavor. Great for a fall crop in areas where weather permits. Determinate.
70 days."
