I'm searching for any garden centers or growers who sell :Mountain
Fresh" tomato plants. The plants I started from seed were destroyed in
a storm, and now I have to start over. I've called more than 50 places
in my area (Wisconsin) and no one has even heard of this variety.

I grew "Mountain Fresh" last year and my family said they were the
best tomatoes they've ever had. I'd really like to get some for this
year but I don't know where to look.

Any replies appreciated/

Sorry if I sounded ****y. I get like that when I make a mistake, I'm
****y a lot. I missed that part about wanting plants in the original
post.

My point is still a good one though. Your purchase will be a small one
in the grand scheme of things but if a distributor can send a customer
to a client, that builds goodwill all around. If you're a nursey person
and you have two distributors to choose from, do you buy from the guy
who sent you a customer or the other guy? Same thing with the ag
department at Penn. They're propably dying to do something important
besides shuffling papers. You've talked up their product in a news
group. You've raised the public awareness of their product. They are
going to want to help, if they haven't already escaped for the summer.
Write to them. If worse comes to worse, you have Early Girls this year
and Mountain Fresh next year.

You got nothin' to lose.
