One of the things I stumbled upon was that Lewes, MD had a neighborhood called "Tomato Alley" known for its canning activity at one time.

Too late to try starts again, maybe will try again next spring. |
Chuck lived near Baltimore Maryland, I knew him very well,he was a pilot in the air force, after he retired he did two things. He hired a crew of workers who cleaned various offices in many different buildings in Baltimore.
I wish I could remember why he started his seed business,
but I don't. I think I first met him when both of us were on Compuserve, another message site,long since gone.
As his health declined another person near him helped him out a lot,can't remember his name either.
This was the variety that he was so proud of since he had found it.

It says from 2003, but Chuck died in 2002. I met him just once in PA.
