Re: Re: Tomatoes

Does it taste as good as a Brandywine? That is my favorite tomato of all
time, but I haven't been able to grow them since I left Kansas City. I
would love some seeds. The crazy weather that Oklahoma has had for the
last 2-3 years has made it tough to grow veggies where I live.

It's truly an amazing plant--and the flavor is the absolute best tomato 
ever.
