Is anyone raising heirloom tomatoes this summer? Are they more difficult to raise than our "modern" tomatoes?

What are YOU doing? There are 26 species of bumble bee native to the UK, of these 3 have become extinct, and 15 are designated 'in serious decline'. Without them many wild plants and flowers are disappearing from our countryside. The ordinary garden is vital to the survival of the bee.. that most important of nature's little helpers. We can all do our bit to encourage them and help them thrive. Plant Apple, Bluebell, Cherry, Pear, Plum,
Rosemary, Chive, Foxglove, Honeysuckle, Lupin, Poppy, Sage, Thyme, Wisteria, Catmint, cornflower, Hollyhock, Lavender, Mint and
Sunflower... and do your bit for the bees..

At home is it better to have aplant from a sapling or seeds...if both choices are available.
