wow, thank you folks! <blush>

It could get much better if folks from southern states contribute their growout notes.
Actually, no matter where you garden - your contribution would be so valuable for everybody, because most of us appreciate seeing someone's unbiased personal experience with a variety, and not a marketing 'hype'.

I am still working on updating seeds availability sections for 1500+ tomato varieties. Just finished with lettuces (huge thank you goes to Jeff Flemming to sent me his spreadsheet with lettuce varieties and vendors who carry them). The job is not small - I wish I could have an alphabetical list from each participating vendor by now, so I can import all of them at once, without editing each page many times (once per vendor).

Unfortunately the job is still very manual, as there is no good tool to update the pages automatically - at least not yet, we'll have to work on this.

If anyone has a full list of tomato varieties offered by a reputable seed vendor (only names), please send them to me via email. I still need the lists for the following vendors:

Casey's Heirloom Tomatoes of Airdrie
Gleckler Seedmen - website not updated for 2013
Knapp's - waiting for a list from Carol
Marianna's - website is not available
New World Seeds & Tubers
Pinetree Seeds
Reimer Seeds
Salt Spring Seeds
Sand Hill Preservation Center - website not updated for 2013
Seed Savers Exchange
Seeds of Change
Skyfire Garden Seeds
Snow Seed
Solana Seeds
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange
Territorial Seed Company
Terroir Seeds
Tomato Growers Supply
Tomatofest
Trade Winds Fruit
Twining Vine Garden
Two Wings Farm
Veseys Seeds
Victory Seed Company
West Coast Seeds
Wild Boar Farms

I have already compiled the lists for the following vendors:
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds
Blue Ribbon Tomatoes
Double Helix Farms
Fedco Seeds
Full Circle Seeds
Gourmet Seed International
Hazzard's Wholesale Seeds
Heirloom Seeds
Heirloom Tomatoes
Heritage Harvest Seed
Heritage Tomato Seed (thank you Steve!!)
J.W. Jung Seed Company
The Sample Seed Shop (thank you Remy!!)

Sorry for getting off-topic...

EDITED TO ADD: I will open a new thread about updating TOMATObase, so we do not get derailed here.
