e-mail me your list. I might already have them, or be willing to split with you. I grew out and sold over 65 varieties of mostly heirloom tomato plants, so I might have what you're looking for already, or want them if I don't have them.

No stupid questions but I've noted plenty of stupid answers!

Why not post the list on GW right here. I would love to see the list.

I've been doing some seed buying/trading already so no, I don't think it is too soon.

They will keep, stored in the fridge for a year easily - in the freezer for years longer. If you can't find someone to share, just put the ones you don't use in a tupperware container (in their paper packet of course) and keep them till the year after in the freezer. ;)

Some years ago, I came across a great offer in a gardening catalog. Speciman vials! I store the seeds in them (opened in the fridge overnight for very low humidity) them sealed. I keep the vials in the basement (about 60F). They seal tightly, are very reusable, and convenient to store (I keep them in a plywood tray with tight-fitting holes drilled in it).

But aside from that, I have just received seeds of Aunt Gertie's Gold from TGS and will be receiving seeds of Brandywine/Suddith/Quinsberry and Tennessee Britches from Victory Seeds next week. I would be glad to trade 6 seeds each for other varieties of interesting heirlooms. Have Cherokee Purple, Prudens Purple, and Caspian Pink (but not enough to trade). So if you have something else, would be willing to give trading a try... :)

Ok, because someone asked, below is the list. And I apologize for this long post - I thought it might help to know where I am & what I want.
I do plan on buying/locating seed soon. If you have seed to sell/give/trade, let me know. I only have Black Krim, Black Cherry and Amish Paste. Also some F3 Sungold mutts. Have a few hornworms I can throw in as well. :)

I live in Sacramento so the summers are long, hot & without rain. No problems with BER. Found out this year that hornworms will also eat eggplant, tomatillo & your fav. pepper plants (hey - I'm sorta new to the gardening thing!).

Most of the tomatoes I had this year were from HD & started in 5gal containers & moved to homemade earthboxes in late June due to the plants wilting too much. Next year I plan on using the 12 'boxes again in my backyard, probably for the cherry & paste toms. In addition I have access to a field at the farm where I keep my horse. While space obviously isn't an issue next year, I don't have a need to grow 20 plants of each variety. :)

I never even thought I liked tomatoes until I planted a Sungold last year. This year Black Cherry & Black Krim won me over. I'm really expanding next year. I'm not looking for big or just pretty tomatoes. I want sweet, complex, juicy & colorful tomatoes. So here is the list - if you have seed to share I would love that. Let it be known that I wasted hours of my employer's time researching this list. ;)

Aunt Ruby's German Green
Jumbo Jim Orange
Kellog's Breakfast
Stump of the World
Sudduth Brandywine
Caspian Pink
Marianna's Peace
Zogola
Aunt Gertie's Gold
Green Grape
Sugary
Snow White
Garden Peach
Kosovo
Teton de Venus
Opalka
Principe Borghese
Carbon
Cherokee Green
Cherokee Purple
Cherokee Chocolate

I am open to additions if it meets the criteria.
Thanks :)

Ooops.. that list will also include:

Sungold
Black Cherry
Amish Paste.

Hey sac_zone9, Can I trade you 6 new Aunt Gerties Gold or Victory Seeds Brandywine Sudduth/Quisenberry or saved Cherokee Purple for 6 Black Krim seeds?
