I'm growing 120 heirloom, open-pollinated, non-hybrid tomatoes, mostly gained from the wonderful HDRA Seed Exchange. Now I have more seeds than even they can use.
Anyobody like some, in trade for genuine heirloom tomatoes - or for any other rare heirloom vegetable seed?
Tomato seeds I have include:
Aunt Madge ~ an incredibly prolific red plum, very sweet cherry tomato. (Average size: 1 inch wide, like a large pigeon's egg.) The most indestructible tomato I have ever grown. Grows anywhere, in anything....
It has far outgrown my Abe Lincoln, Fab, Alicante and Salt Spring Sunrise tomatoes, and one lusty plant is now 5 foot tall - growing through a crack in my concrete drive!
Abraham Lincoln ~ Indeterminate. Big beefsteak tomato.
Fab ~ legendary yellow cherry tomato (the actual name is long and unpronounceable). Indeterminate. Very sweet, delicious, and low in acid, so good for arthritics.
Salt Spring Sunrise ~ orange/red tomato. Big (2.5 inch ave diam). Juicy. (Bush habit, though it's best if staked.) Very rare. Allegedly the very first plant was found growing through a crack in a Californian sidewalk.
Let me know if you have anything exotic to trade ie. other heirloom tomatoes, or any unusual vegetable seed whatever.

Anyone like some free - rare - seeds?
I have been trying to get someone to help me get started with heirlooms. If you have extra seeds and would consider letting me get some for postage I would be most grateful. You can see my trade list here at daves. I really don't have anything exotic to trade but who knows you may find something. Please let me know. thanks janet
i'd like to try some 'aunt madge' - they sound lovely!
