Default Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Hi,
I'm looking for unusual tomato seeds. I have Bonnie Belle And Medici,
am willing to trade or purchase. I live in Toronto (minus 8C this
morning but lots of sunshine) so I need to start seedlings indoors
early.

Thank you
Biff

We're doing the same thing getting started in the greenhouse and there are
tons to choose from. Enjoy.

You must try the Brandywine Tomato. You should have enough heat and sun
in Toronto to grow the perfect acid/sugar balanced Brandywine Tomato. These
things win taste contests. Just eat one fresh off the vine and you will be a
convert. Seeds are widely available but if you find them impossible to buy,
send me an E-Mail and I will send you some seed. Don't start your seedlings
too soon or they will get long and skinny and weak by the time you set them
outside.

Give a look to seedsavers in Iowa. All heirloom seeds. Great
quality.

Biff,

I've never used them, but try Seeds of Change, www.seedsofchange.com

I've heard they're very good.

And here's one that also popped up:

I second every word of that. Best tasting we've ever grown, and no
fussier or more difficult to grow than other, more ordinary, tomatoes.
Even so, it must be said that any homegrown tomato is likely to be
better than any store bought tomato, no matter what the variety, simply
because of the freshness.
