I bought these tomato seeds from Territorial Seeds this year, couldn't find a 
Canadian source and I had to have them.  My kids think they look 
unappetizing, but I think they look awesome!  Like 'black' tomatoes on 
steroids!

Thanks Muffy for the info on area orchards.  I may start visiting them later
in the spring.  Seems like spring here already.  Only 9 inches of snow
total, it's 52F right now and snow is almost melted.  What isn't, is a yucky
gray, black muck!  I bet we get hit in early March with a blizzard.  It's
been that kind of a year!
