Greetings,
I am not Bill, but all I grow is heirlooms, no hybrids on my farm. What I have found is that milage varies depending on your land. I have tasted tomatoes at someone else's garden, loved it. Grown it here, hated it. Black Cherry produces and abundance at my farm, my neighbor is lucky to get any fruit on her plants. I have an area of my farm for testing new varieties and types of plants, so I trial them all the year before I plan to sell them. There is a yahoo list called tomatomania that is all about heirloom tomatoes. What does well in the hot dry south, doesn' t do well in the hot humid south, or in the cooler north, etc. On that list, you could find someone in your growing area that could tell you what produces.

Bright Blessings,
Kim

Bill,

Would you care to comment on which heirloom varieties were the best yielders?
For that matter, which were the worst yielders of those you trialed?
