Sandhill had been carrying it but stopped b'c it wasn't true to the variety. I haven't checked out the picture at Appalachian.

I don't know if Sandhill will have it back for 2009.

I checked mariseeds b'c Marianne lists it in the SSE YEarbook and says she saved seeds only from pinks and Idon't know why but she doesn't list it at her commercial site.

I checked Google but it's rough when a tomato variety is a regular name.

I have a vague memory of someone sending me back some seeds of it and when I get geared up and have my seeds and table used for packing seeds set up I'll see if I can find it in one of the many boxes that are there.

You might also consider asking for it in the Wanted Varieties seed Forum which would be more definitive than my vague memory.

Hi-I grew it in 2006 from some of Carolyn's 1992 seed and I grew it again in 2007.
I did send Carolyn some seed-she's correct.
I would be happy to send you some(not bagged) seed.
Contact me at N_J_Gillard@sympatico.ca
Thanks
Neil G.

Thank you Neil.

I now know that the tomato memory part of my brain is still intact and I would have found them, I know that, but it wouldn't have been an ASAP find.

Once I have the time to go thru my boxes with envelopes of seeds sent back to me I'm sure I'll find BOTH Neil's and Tom's contributions.

Thanks for all the replies. I wondered why this thread didn't move to the top when I replied the other night. I never could find it so I started a nerw thread. Opps! I must have been confused as to where I was. I was looking in the wrong place. Thanks Neal I'll send you a reply to your PM.
