I was lucky enough to have found Tomatoville before meeting her. The thing is, I guess she is pretty involved in a local historic area here. She grows the "garden" there and spreads her propaganda to the people who visit the homestead. So...she has an audience. I found it interesting that she was a bit harsh to me when I showed a wee bit of knowledge.
I've been very impressed with everyone here on T-ville. Sometimes I feel like small beans! But I enjoy it. Even when I get scolded about incorrect names, but now I know why!
I don't think most of the Amish around here grow heirlooms. Unless they are selling to specific places. Most of them grow commercial seeds, from what I can tell.

No doubt she had something to hide in regard to name-changing those varieties.
I feel badly for people new to heirlooms that unluckily find her site first and believe her hype.
