This doesn't sound right to me, but I would like to get verification from the tomato experts, just in case.

This blog was very anti-GMO and it used the terms GMO and genetically engineered interchangeably, which is incorrect. Maybe they meant GE crops, but I just want to verify that if I plant a Celebrity in one spot in my garden one year, I will be able to plant a Brandywine in that spot three years later. (After crop rotation)

Thanks for your help! :)

I can think of several responses to that claim but none of them are acceptable to post here and most only have 4 letters in them.

Let's just say it is hogwash. :-)

Would love to know the source of this article and to see the context it was made in.

I have learned that (certain) blogs will say anything to push their agenda.

I'd remove the word "certain" from that statement. There is little point to a blog except to push a personal agenda. The accuracy of that agenda has to be evaluated by the reader.

It seems like a great idea for science fiction, but otherwise pure craziness. I wonder what that person purports is the method by which a hybrid tomato would prevent an heirloom from growing? Does he think they leak toxic goo?

I plant a few hybrids each year in my now 110' by 40' garden and I alternate crops in different rows each year. I'll have 7 hybrids this year out of more than 240 tomato plants (dwarfs and larger),

The statement regarding hybrids and then no heirlooms is unequivocally false.
