Default Tomato Recommendations for 2003 :)

A good source for just about any type of tomatoes seeds is
Totally Tomatoes, http://www.totallytomato.com


Well, not really. They tend to, uh, make stuff up WRT tomato varieties and
such.

Much better off to try Tomato Growers' Supply at:
http://www.tomatogrowers.com

They have at least as many varieties *and* are concerned with the genetic
integrity of the various heirlooms.

A few other sources:

Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds:
http://rareseeds.com
Specializes in heirlooms, particularly tomatoes and melons.

Marianna's Heirloom Seeds:
http://www.mariseeds.com
A magnificent selection of tomato and pepper seeds. Amazing variety.

Tanager Song Farm:
http://www.angelfire.com/biz2/collectibles4u/
Another immense source of tomatoes, complete with lots of great photos.

Finally, the late Chuck Wyatt's site at:
http://www.heirloomtomatoes.net
Again, great selection, reasonable prices.

A resource I've found invaluable is http://www.gardenweb.com - they have a
forum there specifically for tomatoheads. Carolyn Male, author of _100
Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden_, posts there regularly, as does
Craig LeHoullier, who discovered and named Cherokee Purple among others.
