HWB- I'm curious, why all the CAMPBELLS and HEINTZ varieties. I've never grown any, but from time to time I see them adorning the lists. Do you use them for making catchup and soup? Disease resistance? What's their distinctive charm?
Thanks,

The idea is to save the old commercial varieties from back when commercial varieties still tasted good.
Todays commercial varieties taste like manure as a general rule.
