Thanks Carolyn,
I think ordered around 2001 and 2002. Most of what I got seemed to be "as advertised", in coin envelopes. And if they were mixed up, all the better as they have gone into much of my breeding efforts and perhaps they represent the "secrets" of our success. I remember what drew me into his online website were the homey characterizations of the lines. It was pretty clear which varieties were his favorites and which ones were receiving the gosh darnoodleyation of "faint praise". LOL -- I love the built in translator the changed what I said into gosh darnoodleyation! |

“Bare with me” while I undress/address an invitation to respond to Fred's comments. I can be painfully slow sometimes keeping up with my acquaintances. Bearing witness to my bareness in communication skills should perhaps be kept private as in a private message, but here's my "Lend me an Hear." All puns fully intended to be upended.

Fred, I realized that I lost track of you since that day 7 or 8 years ago. Your site…. http://baianicchia.blogspot.com brought me up to date on your breeding projects a bit. I do hope you include potatoes next year. Tom Wagner |

Tom, I will not be including potatoes. Because, they would have to rotate into the same plots as the tomatoes. I am frankly surprised that I have become so fond of growing peppers, as they also reduce the number of tomatoes I can grow.
Are you potatoes available anywhere? I do think I'd like to grow a few for fun and for eating at my house. |

Fred, is this your place near Sunol? I remember driving from Pleasanton to Fremont on my way to visit my daughter when she lived in Fremont, and the picture looks like the hills just south of Pleasanton. Looks like you would have enough room to grow potatoes. As far as potatoes to be made available, I am still waiting for my friend to get the site together so I can type stuff on it. |

Hi Tom,
Those are the hills south of Pleasanton, and that is our farm. That is last year, and the tomatoes are small and unhappy in the spring cold. I'll keep an eye out for your potato website, but please also let me know when it is up and running. |
