Re: legend

a hybrid I got from Thompson Morgan. It is very meaty, nice and sweet, great substance. I'm not an expert on tomatoes and this was a long awaited first fruit from my first try in mannnnnnnny years at growing a slicing tomato, so maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. I've only occasionally grown a cherry tomato in the past 15 years. They're wonderful!
Bush (Determinate). Tomato Legend is a remarkable tomato variety, in recent trials showing impressive blight tolerance in a garden situation. Legend was bred in the USA by Dr. Jim Baggett at Oregon State University. Both Thompson & Morgan and Dr Baggett believe Legend could be the answer to many gardeners' prayers to help overcome this most destructive disease. A heavy crop of large glossy red fruits of up to 180g (6oz) in weight are produced on plants with a determinate (bushy) habit. The fruits of Tomato Legend are a slightly flatter shape, and almost seedless, early ripening, and have excellent flavour.

Is Legend and heirloom or a hybrid?
We've been getting tomatoes, but have had to pick a lot of them early due to 
blight and stink bug damage.
