@Alan, I would by happy to share some seeds. Use my contact form to give me your mailing address and I’ll send a few over.

@Dave Peterson, Your tomatoes look really great and don’t have some of the cracks that mine have. I believe the cracks come from not having even moisture, especially when they start to ripen. I need to put some mulch around my plants to help keep the moisture consistent for the rest of my crop.

Hi Doug! Neal shared some seeds with me as well, and I’ve been enjoying watching them grow. It’s been a cool summer here in Seattle, so mine are still green, but they’re coming along nicely. Here are a few photos:

Thanks for showing me what I have to look forward to!

Any chance you will save some of the $8 tomato seeds to share? If so, WE would call ours “Doug’s $8 Tomato.” Or maybe Neal and Cali will start selling little seed packets to support the big trip.

I arrived at this post by way of Cali’s tweet. I don’t know the first thing about gardening or organic produce (I’m a city kid), but I love tomatoes and blog entries like this one. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on finding a new champion. =)
