You might want to post this over on the growing Tomatoes forum here as there are several growers-for-sale who participate there regularly. selectedplants.com is one possibility to check out. Dave Here is a link that might be useful: Tomato forum

German Johnson is a relatively bland but productive large beefsteak type tomato with some lumpiness to the lobes. Keyword in that description is 'bland'. It is a big seller in the Carolinas, but for the life of me, I don't understand why. There are both regular leaf and potato leaf versions available. Give an opportunity, I would grow Druzba before German Johnson. It is a far better tomato taste-wise and production is excellent. DarJones

Now that I am over my initial disappointment, I think I have the beginnings of a plan. I might be able to get away with growing around 15 plants, which would make it very unlikely that I miss any particular variety. I can pot some and put the rest in the garden. How can I be upset with any heirlooms when all I had was hybrids last year? (very few I might add due to LB) I really appreciate the offer for seeds but I don't think I could really benefit from that since I still have to pick 4 varieties out of 6. However! If I am missing any at the end of the season, I might take you up on that! Thanks everyone!

Big! Grown them for the past 2 years and again this year. Easily 8 foot tall and 4 feet wide. I use cages so I just let the top couple of feet drape back down. So, as with most all indeterminate varieties - 3 feet apart minimum unless you plan to prune to a single stem in which case 2' would work. Dave
