We've been noticing locally, at some farmers' markets, farm markets and even roadside pickup trucks, that some vendors are moving towards the commercial varieties, especially tomatoes, which are beautiful, long-keeping, tasteless produce. Linda and I affectionately call them plastic tomatoes, and they make our assorted heirloom and "old-fashioned" produce easy to sell once we let folks sample the difference warts and all (on the tomatoes, not me--some things are hopeless).
We set out 100 Japanese eggplants late this year, mostly because I just didn't get them in the ground earlier. They're becoming a real hit at the market. Now if the frost will hold off a bit longer...
