Hi, I'm looking for Pole Lima beans. The stores don't seem to carry them anymore. Where is the best place to order them? Does anyone have any? I have tons of Star of Bethlehem and Grape Hyacinths to trade. Thank you for your suggestions. Patty

Hi Brian94, Anyhow, my neighbor wanted to try and start some plants from the seeds next year. Is that possible with this tomatoe? Jet Star is a hybrid, so it is hard to say just what you might end up with next season. It could be something very similar to Jetstar, or nothing like it, and not so good. You might try asking at The Tomato Forum if anyone has saved seeds and then grown them, and what they got. I was thinking of ambling over there myself and ask if anyone had ever grown Big Mama from saved seeds. I'm loving it for a paste type when making thick juice or salsa. Sue Here is a link that might be useful: Tomato Forum

checked my Jet Stars this PM.....I have one big pot with 3 plants nad it has about 6-7 fuits set and another pot with one plant and it has 2-3 set. they have been more productive in past years. have you been shaking the plants to aid the flowers in setting fruit - I have started doing that everytime I am out in the garden. the best fruit setters in my climate are Goose Creek (amazing crop coming), Fourth of July and Big Beef. even the cherries have not been that spectacular this year. where you are you really need to try some Goose Creek plants from Laurel for next year. don't know how GC tastes, but it sure loves the south!!! tried to buy some GC seeds on Ebay, but NONE germinated. seller returned my money....

Jet Star is a well known Harris hybrid and if you go to the search feature at the bottom of this page and enter JEt Star you'll find lots of links to threads here where it's been discussed/ It's one of the earlier hybrids bred by them along with Supersonic and Moreton Hybrid and I think those earliest ones have some of the best tastes I've found with hybrids. Alas Moreton Hybrid is no longer in production. Note that Jet Star is documented low acid, one of the few so documented, so if using an open water boiling method for canning be sure to acidify the jar contents. Carolyn
