I think I got my Odessa seeds through Saltspring Seeds, but I’m just guessing!

Hi, Lee R. Well, I know that your request was made a year ago and you weren’t asking me, but since there was no answer, I have some oldish Odessa seeds and if I remember right, I think I got them from the Seed Savers org.

where did you get the odessa seed from? I’ve been looking for a variety by that name.

What fun. I guess then you come by your gardening interests honestly (I’m not sure how you come by them dishonestly but hey)

Wendy – I’ll let you know how the kelp thing works. So far, I’ve got lots of sprouts and no damping off – let’s knock on wood!

Jen – it’s not cheating. I’d buy seedlings, too, if I didn’t have my mom’s greenhouse. The summers are just too short here to not get a head start.

Melanthia – “makeshift composter gone bad” – sounds like a story you’d tell over at the pub. Do share!

Kendra – The story behind the Radiator Charlie’s name is fascinating – you must go google it.

Good luck with the tomato seeds. Radiator Charlie’s Mortgage Lifter is the funniest name! Our son’s name is Charlie so we’ll have to try this one year.

Mad amounts of tomatoes! I planted little cherry tomatoes several years ago. New plants kept sprouting where some of the fruit had fallen the previous year. Sadly no plants this year, our edible garden turned into a makeshift composter gone bad.

I can’t wait to see how your tomatoes grow! I am growing my first crop this year, but I cheated and bought transplants from Seed Savers. Your blog is just great.
