Fred Hempel

[DK2021]

I only just learned of Fred's death this week. I'm so saddened by this. We never met, but his tomatoes gave me such joy, and I recommended Artisan Seeds to everyone. I will be more diligent about saving seed from the Artisan OP varieties I grow every year. I have some unreleased seeds from Fred that I must try growing again (I germinated a few last year but life got in the way of my garden).
