TomatoFest has them.

Jonny's also carries San Marzano seed. I'd say TomatoFest as well, the quality is good. But I read where Gary Ibsen has been easing himself out of the business end of TomatoFest, which might explain why I've had trouble's with order inconsistencies from them over the past two years.

Plants will be hard to find as it isn't commonly grown by the big nursery plant suppliers. Small local nurseries that grow their own plants for sale would be a better option. As for seeds, Google pulls up at least 8 different sources for the seeds, likely more.

i just ordered them from Pinetree for $1.15...it's the 'La Padino' strain. Shipping's a bit slow right now, though...;~(

I think Gary has gotton out of the "tomatofest show" held every year so he can pay more attention to his tomatofest seed and tomato business - I never was a fan of his "tomatofest show" and don't know who is going to take that over

but his seeds and service has always been good - however I did get a short in 2 pack this yearonly has 10 seeds - but that was out of 45 packs - don't know if he has school kids working for him

The San Marzano Redorta variety is much better - check it out

Would local gar*den centers grow to*matoes to plant-out size for you if you supply the seeds?

(Asterisks there only to foil the underlined links. The opt-out isn't working for me, though I've done it at least six times.)

Anney, who gives a carp about the underlining, after a few days it's just like the living room wallpaper--it's there but you don't pay attention to it.

Give yourself a break and let a blind-eye do the opting out for you.

Nope, I will not, trudi. I can't tell you how I HATE that. I don't complain about much, but when advertisers want to interfere with my posts, I'll do something. If GW staffers want the advertisers to put those god-awful links in what THEY write, fine. It isn't fine with me in my posts. I'll hang on my way until GW decides to give it up, and I expect they will. There are lots of complaints if you click on the opt-out link.

Use Firefox and adblock and everything will be exactly as before. I never see ads (or underlining) on GardenWeb.

anney, I'm copying and pasting a message from Fruit. It worked for me to get rid of them:

If you are using Internet Explorer, cut and paste this into ( Restricted Sites ). *.intellitxt.com
*.vibrantmedia.com on separate lines.
Open these tabs in order.
Look in Tools,
Internet options,
security,
Restricted Sites,
Sites,
Add to sites box *.intellitxt.com *.vibrantmedia.com
Close
and OK
Your Done.

These will remove the intellitxt from your post.

Thanks for the advice, but I use Opera browser and prefer it after many years of using at least five others.

I don't use IExplorer at all because Opera is so much better.

I did load Firefox but for some reason cannot use it even when I uninstall and reinstall it. (3 times) Nothing will load past the third window, and the window that should show Preferences is a gray blank nothing, no matter how long I wait.

I'm NOT going to any more trouble about using another browser just for GardenWeb when Opera is the best browser I've found. And I don't have trouble on any other site, though actually I don't know of other sites that use this kind of advertising. If the tech people will make the Opt Out apply to Opera, I'll be happy. Otherwise, I'll asterisk words when I know they'll be underlined.

How do you know which words will be turned into a link? With Firefox I have never seen any of these ad links.

But I have to say that any one that still uses IE - apparently the only browser that shows the links - given the much better browsers available really needs to progress on.

Dave

I'm using firefox and still get the links. Do I need to do something with my firefox?

Dave

"Preview Message" usually shows all the words that will be underlined, though not always. As you know, "Preview Message" also shows your embedded pictures just as they'll appear in the post -- same kind of thing. But I remember some words that will be underlined, just from having seen them. It is very annoying and distracts from the post.

Thank you all for the information!

Found some at Benny's just this week. Do you have a Benny's near by?

Ya think it's time to get this back on track on San Marzano questions??
Maybe one of you can open a post about the new imbedded advertizing
Dennis

I was in Target and saw that they had San Marzano Tomato seeds.

George

I received some San Marzano in a trade,but have no Idea what kind of tomatoe it is. Will someone tell me please.

Hi, Too late for this year but what I do is order the seeds from www.totallytomatoes.com (not sure if they have an "e" in there?) and used to grow them in a hot bed. The past couple of years I've made an arrangement with a local (small) greenhouse wherein I give them the seeds, they grow them and I "buy" them at $1.50 a six pack. Their regular price. They're happy at a guaranteed sale for 6-6 packs and I"m happy to not have to remember to take care of the hot bed.
