So, where do we get our hands on the latest batch of seed? And how much does it cost?

Fred, as I noted in an earlier post above, the seeds I have from Bill will be offered in my seed offer,which goes up in late summer or early Fall.

Also three others and I have the parentage on most and just some hints on that

Rosedale, a PL, has CP in it

Little Dixie, red cocktail cherry with BW and NAR in it

Not Purple Strawberry,not Bill's initially but has won several contests at 1 or 2 message site and should be much better known. Bill once described it as

(But the topper was something called "Not" Purple Strawberry, which apparently is a working cross of Cherokee Purple x German Red Strawberry from Jay in the Brazos River Valley down in Texas. He's all bumbed out that he cannot capture a strawberry shaped fruit. I say, well that's too bad, Jay, I guess. But that was about the best tasting tomato I've eaten in the past 3 years! )

So I'm sending to Tania, at a minimum, probably to places other than to Glenn at Sandhill already since as I said already,I didn't get Bill's seeds until I'd already sent to Mike at Victory Seeds,etc.,the following.

Daniel Burson
Not Purple Strawberry
Eva Ste.Wendell
Little Dixie
Rosedale
and several others from elsewhere.

Fred,you pay no money at all with my seed offers,just an SASE (for US folks), but you get back but 6-8 seeds, that goes up depending on seed age,b'c that's what my seed offers are all about,getting access to varieties that will hopefully be new to most or all..

As for me and what Freda will be growing for me here at home this summer

Rosedale
Little Dixie
Not Purple Strawberry
Eva Ste.Wendell
Daniel Burson

..... and 10 others.

Carolyn, wih fingers crossed for a good growing season since the last two have been perectly lousy.

Old thread, but bumping to report that the seeds I received of this variety in this year's Carolyn's Last Seed Offer produced plants that are weathering a tremendous amount of rain very well. We've had 6 inches since August 1st, and perhaps a couple more inches the week prior. On two plants, only one fruit showed any signs of stress, and that had one minor skin split. At a time when almost every other variety is going down and most fruits have split terribly - this one is going strong. I will be saving seeds from the one plant that had no splitting fruits at all.

If you have extra seeds, we would love to see them in the Carolyn Tribute! I posted more details about it today!
