More and more gardeners are returning to growing heirloom tomatoes. Growing heirlooms provides a much greater variety of flavors and colors, and allows the growers to select and save seeds according to individual tastes, uses, and climate. But in doing so, they also risk losing the disease protection bred into today's hybrids. Keeping a watchful eye on your tomato patch is especially necessary when growing heirloom tomatoes organically - to catch pests early and to remove diseased plants before the entire crop is infected.
