I am growing both tropic and granny cantrell tomatoes this year.I've tried to find info on these and had no luck. First of all, are tropic tomatoes heirloom tomatoes? Next how long does it usually take a granny cantrell tomatoe to ripen?

    So tropic are heirloom tomatoes! Cool! That means I have 2 heirlooms tomatoes. With the granny cantrell ones, I meant how long to ripen once they are large and green?
