This video is all about growing tomatoes! We discuss the difference between Heirloom VS Hybrid VS GMO tomatoes - a common source of confusion - and why I mostly stopped growing heirloom tomatoes to grow more hybrid tomatoes.
We also discuss Genetically Modified Organisms - GMO Food - and how they are different. Don't worry - seeds from seed exchanges and seed packets are NOT GMO seeds. You can't just waltz into a store and get GMO seed without signing enormous, legally binding contracts from giant companies!
