Heirlooms have been around for many years and have survived all kinds of problems, unlike hybrids which are touted as being so disease resistant. Besides being around for years, the taste is delicious, cannot compare it to hybrids. You will have to experiment to find out what is best for your area and stick to that. I grew Brandywines in northern Pennsylvania last summer. We got exactly *TWO* ripe tomatoes from four Brandywine plants. I would certainly not recommend them to anyone with cool nights in summer and/or a short growing season. I will never try Brandywines here again - unless I have a greenhouse someday. Even so, I don't think I'd grow them again, they were a disappointment to me in just about all ways. I didn't find their taste better than - say - Better Boy either.
