But don’t be fooled by those folded heirloom tomatoes. Their texture is atrocious. Specific varieties of heirloom tomatoes are the exception to the rule.
Do you find this to be true with both home grown (or very local grown) and store bought heirloom? Supermarket (fresh) tomatoes taste like garbage to me so I don't buy them but I am wondering if your experience with those heirloom varieties you mention is independent of that and they are just awful (at least to your taste) even in ideal conditions. That would mean I should probably try a variety before planting too many of them lol.
