There is an Open Pollinated (OP) version of Sweet Million. It was taken off
the market when the hybrid was introduced. SSE may list it in the 99
yearbook. Derrell Merrell a seed saver in Tulsa has it and has been my
source for it. Sure beats having to buy seed over and over again.

Sorry Allan, an attempt at humor. It was late when I wrote it, now
it's early and I'll try to explain.
I'm concentrating on buying seed so that one day I could be free from
seed companies (ya right) and course you can't save from hybrids. So
my humor attempt was perhaps all this ''saving'' will just give me
more opportunity to buy expensive seeds that could also include
hybrids. :-)
PS... Territorial Seeds also carry that 'Sweet Million' for nearly
1/2 the price, but I don't know if they sell out of the States. You
could have twice the amount of seed then. :-)
