I\'ve written about my favorite tomato, now also called \"Limbaugh\'s Legacy Potato Top\', and they were the backbone of my tomato patch for years. Here\'s the article, if you\'re interested: [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]

I\'ve sent out thousands of seeds from the strain I had, which was identifiable not only by having potato type leaves and bearing med-large pink tomatoes but also by some fairly unique small, vertical, light colored dashes in the skin, especially around the shoulders, sometimes looking like tiny tan scars in the skin and sometimes barely visible as a more lightly colored pattern in the skin.

Due to family matters, I didn\'t start seeds and barely gardened for a number of years. My tomato seeds were stored at controlled room temp but not in the freezer (I didn\'t know then what I know now!), and they seem to have aged out. So I\'m broadcasting a plea:

Is anybody growing these? Better yet, is anybody still growing descendants of the seeds I shared?

(the close-up photos show those little markings in the skin on tomatoes where they were especially visible)
