I was curious as to what an "heirloom tomato" was because it sounded funny and I'd never heard of it, so I looked it up... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heirloom_plant http://www.tomatofest.com/what-is-heirloom-tomato.html
It's not a type of tomato at all (like say, granny smith apple and red delicious apple are types of apples), it's a tomato that was bred in a certain way because it has desirable characteristics. I don't see why she would mention how her tomato was bred/grown unless she was trying to make a point that EVEN HER TOMATOES ARE BETTER THAN YOURS because apparently they're getting more popular for some reason.
