I used to plant at least 13 heirloom varieties. My favorite was Cherokee Purple. The workhorse was Celebrity. Others were Mortgage Lifter, German Giant, Brandywine, Homestead and others. The selection is mind boggling and fun.

You should plant several different heirlooms at one time since in any given season because some will fail. These tomatos were developed over decades for taste, disease resistance and quality but not shipping. The seeds of heirlooms are not hybrids and will reproduce true if you are a seed saver. Most all of these are Indeterminate and will give you a long yield.

I started mine in late January under lights in "peat pellets" in a tray. The best source of seed is Tomato Growers Supply. You can trust the seed's integrity.

I would try some this year although you will be a little late just to get some experience with growing from seed. It's lots of fun and challenging.
