| Hi all, I have a large order with a nursery here in town this spring and part of the order is 20 flats of cupid hybrid tomatoes. I, myself would really LOVE to find a great heirloom sustitute, for several reasons: Organic - I would LOVE to grow ONLY heirlooms- but not all my customers are on board -- lol and of course I would be able to cut costs by saving seeds for next year - etc I have never grown cupid hybrid and am unfamiliar with taste- nature - etc |

| Cupid - early @ 66 day, red, grape hybrid, indeterminate with claimed resistance to Fusarium Race 1, Alternaria Stem Canker, and Stemphylium. Brix rating of 8.2. A heirloom sub for all that? No. Close (maybe) Red Grape (mid-season). See link below. Sprite, early but it is determinate and much lower brix rating. I assume you know that growing "organic" doesn't limit you to growing heirlooms only? Dave |
