Tomato seeds
 

I've been growing Burpee Salad Choice Hybrid saladette tomatos for the
past 3 years. They've been great producers and the tomatos are oblong,
about 3 to 4 ounces each. Never grown a better tomato ! The problem -
I can't get the seeds any more. It seems like Burpee stopped producing
them. Can anybody suggest a good alternative ?
Also, does anyone have an opinion on this Spray 'n Grow stuff that
I've been seeing on QVC ? Don't want to buy it if it's useless.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Burpee's catalog lists 3 saladettes.
Fresh Salsa 63726-A
Ensalada Hybrid 63461-A
Little Mama 63785-A

Ensalada is the only one I can bring up on a search for saladette
online. The others may be available if you call. Salad Choice was
not listed in the 2006 catalog either. I don't have any suggestions
since I am usually growing larger and smaller tomatoes.

they seem to still be selling, and many varieties
there seems to be a 'type' associated with the name saladette, as
well. Google on this word may bring up all sorts of places.
you may also want to look for a different brand than Burpee, as well.
A recent article online mentions that most Wal-mart sold seed,
including Burpees, may have issues with deliberately creating sterile
fruit. I hope this is wrong information.

good luck~
