I've been using them for years.

I didn't plant in them this spring...

I'm sorry I didn't...they are awesome.

Thanks, Chris

I had a few tomatoes. Luckily, I have the friendship pleasure of a real tomato guru who is bound to the cubicle across from me in our "corporate day jobs". He shared an assortment of heirloom tomato seeds.
