You might be thinking of Craig LeHoullier. Here's a link to his list of plants for this year: http://nctomatoman.topcities.com/Fro..._Mar_03_04.htm |

Whether you'll end up thinking that they really do taste better than hybrids depends on which variety you pick. IMHO, the Pink Brandywine is close to the ultimate tomato for flavor. Unfortunately, it doesn't produce very well in my garden. |

The Durham Garden Center on Hillsborough Rd will be selling these this year, and according to my friend who works there they are going to try to have the Tomatoman in for a talk on heirloom tomatoes (and maybe a tasting!) later in the summer.
