The first year for KB in my gardens was in 2000. I have no record where it came to me from. I did receive KBX from Martha Hufford and did list it in SSE when I was part of that organization. That year I received a phone call from some guy named Darrell Kellogg who wanted to know if I would send him some KBX seeds so he could see "what all the fuss was about."
During the conversation he called himself "the other Michigan Kellogg." I really don't know for sure if he was joking or making a statement that he was related, but got from that one relatively short conversation that he had a very good sense of humor and would have been a person I would liked very much to have known better.
I always wanted to see what his thoughts were on the difference between KB and KBX, but never heard another word. I still grow either or both every year. Thank you Martha and Carolyn for making that contact possible...a highlight in my tomato growing life.
