Here is a link to a draught resistant tomato, Millet's Dakota.

I usually buy something from Victory Seeds but I hadn't seen Millet's
Dakota.

Thanks

I spent a long time yesterday looking through all the tomatoes at
http:\\store.tomatofest.com

There were about 600 varieties. Even tho I don't need any more tomato
seeds, I bought 7. Who can resist a Julia Child, Blue Ridge Mountain
when I live in the foothills and Richardson since it is my maiden
name. All good reasons to buy the seeds.

I did notice that Burbank is supposed to do well in drier areas.
Check it out. Problem is $15 minimum purchase.

Yeah, that $15 minimum has kept me from buying at Tomatofest.
I did find the Burbank at "Seeds of Change" also.

They claim it needs moderate watering and is high in amino acids, for a
tomato. Apparently the Burbank is a determinate tomato (good for
canning?).

Thanks for sharing the information.


Shipping is really a pain. When I know that I need (or want) a large
variety I start making a list of what I want, then who has them. I
try to get as many as possible from one place without leaving a single
from someone. I particularly like to try different varieties to see
if I like a new one better than what I am now using.
