Thanks for the link to the seed offer, Tania, but I don't have any seed to trade just yet. And I don't know how to do that without bungling it all up!

Dingbat,
the seed offer I was referring to is not a trade offer - the seeds are offered for a self-addressed stamped envelop, that's it, no seeds needed in return

All the cherries were great - Black Cherry, Galinas, and Sungold... I liked the flavor of Silvery Fir Tree (tangy)and Azoychka (more mellow but delicious)... Black From Tula was also delicious (more full flavoured and sweet)... Earl's Faux has a great tomato flavour... there were none I disliked... Stupice had a good sweet tomato taste early in the season while I waited for others to ripen... Brandywine Sudduth and Aunt Gertie's Gold could have benefited from a few more weeks' growing to get a few more fruit to mature. I don't think I could pick one favourite.

Ciao dingbat dude-

So where are you in the glacier-infested GTA? As a California transplant, anything below zero celcius is glacier-infested. There's a Seedy Saturday coming up on St. Pat's Day in Toronto. It's put on by Seeds of Diversity Canada and it's a great way to bulk up your tomato collection cheaply. You won't find hybrids there, just OP and heirloom stuff. I ended up with over 20 packs of tomato seed (5+ seeds each) by trading for my copious collection of columbine seed. I'm not a huge ornamental grower, so it worked out swell for me. There's also the Toronto Botanical Garden's 'Get a Jump on Spring' thing coming up as well. PM me if you'd like to attend either or both and we can meet up.

Cheers!

i went to my first Seedy Sat last year and was surprised to meet so many like minded seed savers.

Seedy Saturday in Edmonton (Devon) is on March 30. I may travel up to that depending on the weather, of course. I am waiting for the details about the Calgary one to be posted on the web.
