free seeds, and a tomato question
I no longer have any use for these seeds in case anyone else wants them:
sweet pea winter flowering mix Mexican coriander orange pixie hybrid tomato giant pink belgium tomato lemon basil cinnamon basil tarragon (Artemisia Redowski) lavender Only the sweet pea packet has never been opened. I assume all the seeds are still viable, but hey, they're free, so there's no concern about getting screwed. As for the tomato question, just wondering if anyone knows of a seed company where I can get yellow (or any non-red) plum tomato. Actually, any tomato suitable for a sauce would work, so long as it's not red. The birds seem to attack any red fruit that I grow. |

I just got the Burpee catalog, and it shows Big Rainbow in its Classic Giant
tomato section. Judging from the picture, this yellow tomato is not exactly gorgeous, as it's deeply lobed(?) rather than nice & round; however, the slice looks to have a lot of meat compared to seeds. Burpee's website: http://www.burpee.com Also, Seeds of Change offers the San Marzano paste tomato, which looks orange. http://www.seedsofchange.com Good Luck! Maybe you should think in terms of growing the tomato varieties you want, and covering them all with netting or some such? (Easy for me to suggest, as I've never had all that much problem with birds going after my omatoes -- this past summer being the sad exception, when all the critters seemed to be eager for water and/or sustenance.)

I've tried the red ornament thing with limited success. The funny thing
is that the ornaments I bought were a foam core with red wax on the outside (mini apple ornaments, $0.50 specials from the dollar store). The stupid things melted in the summer sun. I did see a few peck marks, but the birds quickly learned to ignore these mottled foam decoys and aggravate me by pecking at the other tomatoes.

Well, since no one's spoken up, I'd be much obliged to have the sweet
pea seeds. Drop me a line for further info and your postage costs will be reimbursed. Many thanks wrote in message ...
