Ryan and I seem close to each other and I suspect it was the same person who
started both our plants, Greta Kryger. You can see her web site at
http://www.seeds-organic.com/ , which is a commercial site specialising in
heirlooms. She is about 1hr drive from me and I hope to buy directly from her
next spring.

The "Seeds of Diversity" site is one of the best I have seen for descriptions of
little known heirloom varieties. http://www.seeds.ca . Click on the "Heritage
Varieties Database".

Oh, I love browsing heirloom plants. It's interesting to trace
their history and see what people growing them now think
of them. I know I was reluctant to try Brandywines because
I had heard they weren't as heat tolerant as other varieties, and
heat we got plenty of around here. However, I've been
tickled pink by the pink Brandywine's performance. It has
proven to be the most resistant variety that I've grown to the
Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus that comes with the spit! thrips.


More than you wanted to know, but I am one of those people who leaves no thought
unspoken. :-)

Well, that's kinda the whole point of having a gardening group.
We natter on about what we're growing and what works for us,
and pick up a few new ideas from each other. I've got friends
who's eyes glaze over after a few minutes of me pontificating
about the differences between red and chocolate hananeros,
but someone here might find that useful or interesting. And if
they don't they can skip to the next message.

What country/state/province are you in?

I'm in South Carolina, USA, with plenty of heat, humidity,
and mosquitoes to go around.


Pam, USDA zone 8 , if that helps.
