Anyone have a good source for them? Or seeds to trade? Really interested in trying this one this year.

Thanks,

Greg

Greg, this request should really be posted in the Wanted seed subforum, but here's a link to Tania's page for it and just one seed source right now but do look at the other San Marzanos she also has links for.

Hope that helps, and if you already have posted this in the seeds wanted Forum I aplogize since when I get to Tville I read from top to bottom of the page.

I got mine from the Italian seed company.

125 seeds in each pack, now that is a seed company!!

So i guess I have a few extras, I'll trade if you don't want to purchase them. I was going to grow them this year. I purchased them last summer.

An excellent source and I knew the founder, Bill McKay, for many years but hadn't realized that he retired a few years ago.

My learning lesson here is that while Tania's seed sources are great she can't cover all of them and there are others who just don't want to, for their own reasons, get a Google link in place.

I heard an interview with Bill before he retired, or right after. It's nice to have those italian seeds here. The Franchi company was started in 1783 and it is still in the same family!
I have grown a few items, and I'm impressed with the product. I'm buying some beans too for next year.

Those remind me of a Jersey Devil. I'd like to compare both for fresh eating. I grew SM Lungo #2 and a plain San Marzano variety and neither were much good for fresh eating but they earned their keep once roasted.

Yeah I only want them for sauce. I'm growing a bunch of thers too. I have to figure out how much room I have. I rotate crops, and I don't have it down pat yet.
