I Got Mine
The P-G's gardening editor Doug Oster made a great offer in the March 13 Post-Gazette. Send him a SASE and he'll send you a packet of heirloom tomato seeds. I planted twelve of them in an egg crate, and still had about the same amount left over for Liz send to her mother. Here's Liz sitting in the backyard today, one of the first mild days of spring. You can just barely make out the little plastic bag of seeds.
Doug does ask you to send the fruits of the first born.
All I ask is that they send back seeds from the first tomato so we can keep this great variety alive. Last year, I received more than 140,000 seeds in return. I stuff all the envelopes with the help of the Penn Hebron Garden Club.A truly viral marketing approach to broadcasting the source of one of my favorite love songs.
