April 2002, Kellogg's Breakfast on (L) - KBX on (R)

My curiosity was piqued and I just had to see what would happen if I grew out the PL plants. I kept it to myself for a couple of seasons to see if the saved seeds grew out true to form and had the same amazing taste as they did in 2002. They did and I took a fruit or two to Tomatopalooza [tm]III in 2005. Craig tasted it and went back for seconds, Jerry spooned up seeds to take back to Ohio, several others asked for seeds and KBX was off and running.
Martha, you forgot that you and I were both still posting on AOL, my we've known each other for a long time, LOL, and you first described it there and you were also distributing seeds there as well.

I honestly can't remember if I got some seeds from you back then, or not.
