TM...Okay, my DH insisted on planting some heirloom tomatoes. I refused to eat them, though, because they were so ugly. Are they supposed to be ugly?
Pretty much yes. Many of the things that make tomatoes ugly like cracking and I guess even color are eliminated with hybrids. The same is true with all kinds of other things like disease resistance and slow ripening.
I suppose it all depends on which type of heirloom you choose. Why does it matter so much what they look like?
