A Brandywine tomato is the best I have ever tasted. I have had no
luck
growing them, but that doesn't mean that heirlooms aren't delicious
with superb flavor and few seeds.

They are just very selective about conditions which is why less-fussy
hybrids have been produced.

I have given up on brandywine tomatoes in Michigan. The season is just
too short.
I do grow heirloom tomatoes of Romas and Bonnie Best. These are smaller
tomatoes and take less time to grow and grow well in my area. But I will
continue to grow heirloom.
