Granny's Heart
THE OFFER FOR GRANNY'S HEART SEEDS IS CLOSED
I have saved seed for Granny's Heart available for a SASE (no trades). It is a 50+ year old family heirloom from SE Pennsylvania. In the family it was always just known as Granny's Tomato, and her grandaughter says Granny purposely crossed a beefsteak and a plum tomato and got this excellent tasting red heart. Request as follows: USA Address ONLY:Send me a private message and I'll reply with my address to send a SASE. Canadian/Foreign Address: Send a PM to retiree who lives in Canada and has graciously agreed to distribute seeds I have supplied him with. He will reply with his address to send your SASE to. Between us there should be enough seed to supply from 30-40 requests and will be filled on a first come basis. I am posting this offer here as I would like a lot of T-Ville's regular members who may not frequent the "Seeds for Trade" to get to try them too. It was the best tasting tomato in my garden last year. Last edited by barkeater; June 5, 2011 at 02:22 PM. Reason: OFFER IS CLOSED |

Hi,
I sent a PM the other day, I hope you got it. That sounds just like the type of variety I would like to try, the family heirlooms that are "must grows". Thanks for the great offer, Carol |

I am closing the offer for the USA requests
I was gone over the weekend and have 40 PM's in my inbox. I am not sure if I have enough seed to provide for more than that. If I do I will reopen the offer. Thanks, barkeater |
