I feel odd asking for any seeds from the Dwarf Project since I did not participate, but if anyone wants to send me seeds, I will not turn them down.

Remy, I am certainly and emphatically was NOT suggesting that folks who are in the Dwarf Project send you seeds b'c they have been told many times not to share seeds with anyone. Craig and Patrina are the ones who will decide when a variety is OP and then be offered at commercial places.

So when I talked about the Dwarfs I suggested that you read Craig's thread near the top of this Discussion Forum where to date, as he explains, some varieties are available from Victory Seeds and Sandhill, and says NOT to e-mail of call Sandhill, and discusses what happened with the placement of seeds at SESE and TGS, or not.

Craig sent me those varieties just for my opinion, as I said above, and I was very impressed with the ones I mentioned and saved no seeds from them , even though I'm not a member of the Dwarf project .

So trust me, you don't want folks in the Dwarf Project slipping you seeds unless they can prove the seeds came from one of the two commercial sources above, where you too can get them.

I know how concerned Craig and Patrina have been about some of those in the Dwarf Project giving seeds to others and since he's me best tomato buddy, and I happen to agree with both of them, that's why I wrote so much here, not that I sometimes write too much anyway.

Well, I got confused because I didn't realize it is still ongoing. I though the varieties were stabilized and being distributed. Believe me I am not interested in getting anything I shouldn't get like that whole OSU Blue fruit fiasco!
I'll never mind that you write too much! I actually don't write enough sometimes I think to be fully understood. In person though I often should be quiet long before I am.

Wapsipinicon Peach wasn't really a cherry for me. I see them described as 2" everywhere, but most of mine were around 2.5", with some almost 3" and only a few as small as 2". They had nice flavor (though mild) and were producing through the hottest part of summer when a lot of others had stopped, so I'm growing them again this year.
