Hi Yote, I'm interested in your cherokee trail of tears bean, amish paste tomato, Christmas Speckled Lima, mayflower bean, tiger eye bean, and Seminole squash. I'm hoping you can find some things on my have list that you're interested in. I may be able to find some others in my stash, so let me know if you don't see anything on my list. PLMK Thanks!

I can probably spare a few from a commercial seed pack I have. My MWC has set fruit, but hasn't ripened yet. I would be interested in what you have if wanted to trade. Otherwise, I could fill a SASE for you.

First year growing MWC. It is an amazingly huge plant with impressive production. The taste is as sweet as it's reputation. My only knock on it is: 1. Very small fruit So I knew it was going to be small, but I guess I didn't know it would be that small. I'm also growing a variety called "Coyote" which is very productive like MWC, sweet like MWC, but yellow. I just wish I would get more bang per tomato in terms of size. I like the cherry size that are large enough to cut in half and add to salads. 2. Cemented to the vine So, staying on put on the vine is a good thing, but my MWC is almost cemented to it. When I pull them off, sometimes it's yummy meat inside stays with the vine. This makes it somewhat difficult to remove. Granted, this is early in the season and maybe this behavior will change. What I'd really love is a cherry tomato, the size of Magic Mountain but sweet like MWC. Does anyone have any suggestions? smithmal This post was edited by smithmal on Mon, Aug 4, 14 at 22:26

YEs, I know TGS very very well and I've known Linda Sapp since about 1990 and consider her a good friend. Over the years I've sent many OP varieties to Linda, and her late husband Vince, he who bred the wonderful cherry tomato called Black Cherry. There are many great sites out there for tomatoes, some only for OP varieties, some with both OP and F1 varieties, some with pictures, some not, some with ridiculous prices and many with more reasonable ones,some with excellent reputations for seed purity and quality, and some not so good, and there are also some seed sites out there that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
