That's the beauty of heirloom produce, you can save the seeds and
plant them instead of buying seeds.


We plant Romas and a variety called Scotia, allegedly one especially
suited to Nova Scotia's climate. Every year numerous Scotia plants
come up in the compost heap from the discarded rotters and (possibly)
from the pomace left from making last year's tomato sauce.

I really should try saving some of the seeds and starting them in the
micro-greenhouse [1] in March as the volunteers in the compost heap
are too late to bear heavily.
