Assuming "German Strawberry" is the same as German Red Strawberry (I think it is), Solana seeds has all three. http://solanaseeds.netfirms.com/TomatoesD-L.html

I have purchased from TomatoFest in the past. No complaints.

It seems to me that if it were German Red Strawberry it would have been listed that way,rather than just German Red,. which then gets us into trouble since there's also and Orange Strawberry,which someone changed to German Orange Strawberry, but the latter was a stray seed found in a packet of commercial Pineapple Seeds. First, German Red Strawberry. http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/G...Red_Strawberry Here's what I'm talking about as to German Orange Strawberry. https://www.google.com/search?q=germ...&bih=815&dpr=1 Carolyn

Thanks Carolyn,I think I'll wait till next fall to get these 3 types.I plan on starting my seeds next week and to be honest really need to expand my garden.My eyes are bigger than my stomach when it come to planting different types of tomatoes.
