I know I live on the other side of the planet, but I have found many of the seedlings sold via garden stores etc. are actually hybrids. For really great tasting, old-fashioned tomatoes, see if you can find someone who sells "heirloom" or old fashioned varieties. Usually we can get them here from a couple of "seed saver" companies. The great thing about using old fashioned non hybrid types is the seed. You can save the seed from the nicest ones and have more for next year. Often hybrids are sterile or seed from them is not true to type, hope this helps.
