| Well Gardenweb helped me big time a few years ago when a buddy and I started a garden. Had to take last year off of gardening because of taking new job and moving. Since I have moved I will be starting a new garden. I had some friends ask me to start some tomato seeds for them. Looking for some advice on what you think of the varieties I have access to. I want to keep it to about 5 varieties we all want some for canning and some to eat in summer. Also any others I should consider looking at? (Heidi?)
Rutgers
Amish Paste
Opalka
Brandywine Yellow
Dwarf Champion
Bloody butcher
Mortgage Lifter
Black Krim
Oxheart Tomato
Beefmaster
Beefsteak
Brandywine Red
Brandywine OTV

| I got thinking... During our long move and temporary living we stored everything in a hot humid garage. My seeds would have been in a tub there. I better look at buying some new ones. I'm going to get some from wintersown.org. Where else should I look to get some? Sandhill? -- wonder what the wait time is on their list now. |

| Isuhunter. If you need seeds quickly neither of the two you mentioned will be fast. Very Good sources, but not fast. Johnnys Selected Seed is very fast. I also like Sample Seed Shop for small, cheap packs of toms and they will get them right out also. If you PM me, I will send you Mortgage Lifter, BW RED and BW yellow. Oh I also have some Rutgers, old but mine popped up in just a few days. LInda. |

| Have you done a germination test of the stored seeds? Maybe all is not lost. |

| I'm working on getting my workshop set up and I will do some tests on them. The problem is I only have 6 seeds of some of the varieties left. |
