Where should I send my SASBE to D.O.? I have room to plant about 15 of
them, so we'll see what develops.

OK, here it is. Home Depot and your local garden shop are more than
likely a very poor place to find your AG seeds. If they even are AG's
they are more than likely open pollinated, so who knows what you are
really going to get. If you need good seeds just ask. I'd be happy to
give some of mine away. What do I need 300 seeds for. (Can you imagine
growing 300 of these in one year?) If anyone wants seeds let me know.
I'd be happy to unload a few...dozen. ;)

I have handled the seed from about 230 different Atlantic Giant fruit,
and I'm fairly convinced that the seed sold at such stores isn't really
Atlantic
Giant at all. The seeds are just far too small to be real AG. I first
became aware of this when I grew my first (puny) one from Harris Seed
"Atlantic Giant" seeds.
There's plenty of "real" seed available for free from fellow growers.
