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. http://www.seedsofchange.com/garden_...asp?item_no=PS 15446 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. Just on a whim. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw_0_5?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=tomato+seeds&sprefix=tomat Bill Just what I don't need, more tomato seeds. They do not seem to be sold by Amazon so would have to pay shipping. Did you see #226, rare Polish Pastel, 5 seeds for $3.99 + shipping.. -- Susan N.
