Sorry that I don't have any heirloom tomatoes to send you as most of our tomatoes didn't make it last summer due to the drought & extreme heat & wild critters decided that our garden was a banqueting table set out just for them. Nonetheless I would like to recommend a few of my personal favourites in the heirloom tomatoes. AMISH PASTE is one of the most meaty & delicious flavoured tomatoes that I have ever tasted & they grow to a huge size & are quite prolific - need staking. CHADWICK is one of the most delicious small tomatoes (2 bites) with hundreds of tomatoes per bush. The bushes can grow to 5 ft. tall. Both tomatoes have soft skins as apoused to the hybrids with their tough skins. Had to buy new seed for this year so hope that I have better luck this time. Blessings in your search.

I have about 30 or so heirlooms. E-mail direct and I'll tell you what I have, and tell me what are your desires. Have you thought about joining the Seed Saver's Exchange? I'll give you that info, too, GL!

Believe it or not, check e-bay. I just saw some on there today. 10 varities for $5.99. Just type in hierloom tomatoes and it should come up. She has two sets on there, almost bought them myself, but money is tight.
