mama mia tomato mystery

Posted by rooten4you (My Page) on

Hi all! I have been absent for many years but have a prob I cant fix anywhere else. WHERE on the planet can I get wholesale, or any, seeds for this plant???? The mama mia's. I have looked everywhere. I searched all and found nothing. I am a grower and bought some plants regionally on my spring spy tour.
AND! please tell me your fav plants from this year. Did anyone get or do well with the annual Phlox? How about the "really red" vinca? My supplier has nixed them both for next year. Why do they prop this stuff up when it isn't really good? Or they can't send it?
Is a Mediterranian vinca as good as a Nirvana?
Lots of questions. Any willing mentors?
Please help. I fell into a wholesale job and am second guessing myself way too much. Yikes. Now it is a real job!

I don't want to sound unkind but how hard did you look for it? I did a quick search & found a source of seeds for this variety on my first try.

You can buy all sorts of diff tomato varieties at Tanager's Song Heirloom Seeds. I figured heirloom seed company would be the most likely place to have them but I didn't even specify heirloom seeds when I did the search. Scroll down the page & you'll find the seeds available at this site: http://www.tanagersongfarm.com/heirloom_seeds/tomato-paste.html

I don't know where in the US you live but Emery's Garden at 2829 164th St SW, Lynnwood, WA (phone: 425 743-4555) carries the plants. A phone call would check to see if they'll have them next year too.

Cook's Farm and Greenhouse, 1645 West 1600 N, Orem, UT (phone: 801 225-8271) also carries the plants.

This variety is also sold in the UK but I figure a US source would probably be better for you. Hope you enjoy them. If I'm right, they're not a hybrid so you should be able to save seeds for other years & maybe even share them around so more can enjoy them!

April 2011 Tanagers doesn't sell seeds anymore, I'm looking too.
