Forsaking All Heirlooms: Tomato Harvest 2014

Having spent the last ten years remaining faithful to heirloom tomatoes, which oftentimes succumbed to disease before harvest, I decided to grow all hybrids this year.  I hated to join the "Dark Side," but I simply did not want to spend hours fighting blight and wilt and blossom-end rot only to come up mushy, diseased fruit.  You can see that perhaps it was a wise decision as we were overloaded with healthy, red tomatoes that were consumed immediately or put in jars for enjoyment this winter.  What will next year bring?  Well, maybe I'll try to grow ONE Brandywine.
