The reason I use hybrids is because they usually outperform in all categories (bigger yields, better tasting, disease resistant etc.) vs. heirloom seeds. Therefore, if I am going to take the time to grow it, I want the best shot at getting the fruits of my labors. Personally, I am most concerned with the disease resistant properties of hybrid plants.

I wondered if you use, or recommend non hybrid plants?
