Back into starting tomatoes again after a few years off. Life gets busy in the summer with 3 boys. Anyway, I looked and looked for Jean's Prize for sale anywhere and couldn't find it. I had 6 seeds left after giving most away and they were years old, I would say at least 5 years old. I started all 6 and only one came up. Now I have to baby this one surviving plant to be able to save seeds from it this summer.

Thank you again Carolyn
