Wondered if anyone had grown Opalka Paste Tomatoes this spring and if so, would they like to trade a few for a grape plant? I have Roma, but was told this one is a good paste tomato as well.

I sent you an email thru Garden Web which is not totally reliable. LMK if you don't get it.

No, they aren't Opalka. Did you buy the seeds from the SSE Public catalog as opposed to being an SSE member and getting them from someone else? I'm pretty sure I've seen someone else who got their seeds from the public catalog and they were Opalka but I don't remember the sepcifics as to when a sin this year or a preceding year. But mistakes can happen, that's for sure, and in the latest non SSE publication for members they were describing a new machine they have that can fill seed packs automatically and if indeed it's a goof I bet there should be others out there growing the non Opalka as well. If you're sure there was no mistake at your end you can go to the SSE website at seedsavers.org and contct someone that way or you can call direct at (563)-382-5990. Carolyn
