Not new at all, and I know Dale well.
It was rough for him at first since he had to move to Utah, clear the land and start all over again,but he did it, and thank heavens he did.
Dale is also an SSE member and in the 2018 Annual Yearbook is offering 502 tomato varieties and a very long list of many other seeds he sells, from morning glories,to peas,to fava beans to rhubarb, etc.And of course it's a go to place for those who are looking for tomato competition varieties since he has developed some himself and also allied with many of those growers who do the same, like The Big Pumpkin site, which isn't just about pumpkins.
