Hi ddKcat, I'd like both your Cherokee purple and Roma seeds. These are the flower seeds I have gathered fresh this year so far: Bright pink Achillea, Knautia macedonia, Monarda fistulosa, and Nicandra physaloides 'Splash of Cream'. I also have a mix of pink and purple daylily hybrid seeds drying on the plants, some of them have dried and opened enough to pick. Are you interested in any of those? Later I'll have a larger variety. Alison

Hi, I have the original Mortgage Lifter tomato That came from a plant from my grandfather who got the plant from "Radiator Charlie" The tomatoes are all big on these plants from 1 to 3 lbs. I also have a very productive Cherokee Purple tomato. If you want to trade. I would like the Toothache plant seeds and Ali Baba Watermelon. Just send me a email. Thanks Dwight

I would also be interested is some of these - I just responded to your other post for heirloom tomatoes. Let me know if there is anything in my list that would interest you. Thanks. Michelle

In and around Portland, various growers sell tomato plants, with many heirloom kinds. Just about everyone sells Sungold because, even if all other tomatoes fail, Sungold will thrive. The box stores are a source as long as you select fresh plants rather than shopworn kinds that have dried out one or more times. We also have numerous small garden centers which feature heirloom tomatoes in spring. Call around as previously suggested. Another resource for good quality plants are local farmer's markets Don't get too anxious about planting, though. Many folks wait until June or later to set out transplants so that the tomatoes receive the consistent warmth they require. You might be interested in "Growing Your Own" from Oregon State University.
