Was wondering if anyone had any seed to spare of tomatoes that do well in our pacific northwest climate. I don't need many, just want something that is going to bear fruit before it freezes!! :-) I've heard Oregon Spring is a good one. What are your experiences with it or others? If nothing else I would love good advice on what varieties to buy. Thanks!

Susan,
I dont think you will have much trouble with standard tomatoes long as you start the season with transplants. I along with others, I am sure, will be bringing tomato starts to the spring trades. I am right near you (little past Gig Harbor) and I have always had PLENTY of tomatoes. I will be growing lots and probably will have little extra seed that I can maybe give you when in town.
When I know what I have for trade I will let you know.

Susan,

Be sure to come to the April plant trade in Brinnon...I'm sure we can fix you up with a number of plants/seeds for your new yard! I think I have a few things on your want list. Welcome to the NW.
