My county's extension office does a spring fair where they sell about a hundred varieties of heirloom tomato seedlings. They're not bred for grocery stores and are delicious

    Eventually when I retire, I am thinking of doing a little backcross breeding on OP tomatoes. Pulling in all the modern disease resistance package into the older varieties would make growing them much easier.

    The hardest part is finding a pathologist to run the screens. I could also speed it up a bit with molecular markers but you can never completely trust them. You have to run the pathology screens.
