@Neal, I think I can help you out. I’ve e-mailed you to work out the details.

My grandmother decided last year would be the last she gardened. I still have some of my seeds, but they are buried in storage. I have a friend who will grow some for me. Have you continued to grow them and do you have any seeds you could send back to me?

I really love massive heirlooms, I love to slice them up with some fresh basil, fresh mozzarella, olive oil and some good aged balsamic… Simply Amazing! Great Looking Tomato by the Way

The person who gave me the seeds did not know the original name. The plant and tomatoes we grew looked a lot like Brandywine.

Did this tomato originally have a name at the farmers market? Would be fun to know what variety it is!

[...] tomatoes. And speaking of tomatoes… I received a bootleg package of heirloom tomato seeds via Doug Smith that I am nerdishly excited about. Some call them Neal’s $8 tomatoes since a single tomato [...]

@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!
