Excellent news Red. My Arkansas traveler seeds did not germinate. I speculate that they got too hot in the sunshine next to the SW patio door. They were covered with a plastic lid which I had propped up a little to allow ventilation. Some one closed it tight. And Hubby lost almost all the heirloom seeds I liked last year.

I had ordered some Arkansas Traveler plants on sale last year at about mid summer, intending to grow them indoors, but they sent me a card that they were back ordered till spring. They just came in last week. I only paid half price, so that was a relief to get some plants.

I haven't heard of homestead. I just received 10 varieties of tomato seeds from winter sown,($5 donation) which I'll try to start indoors. Then I'll save the seeds from the varieties I like best.

Hubby likes the mortgage lifters the best out of what we have grown the last 3 years.

Good to hear your order from last year paid off! I am pretty sure the seeds I had saved from last year are at our house in Ms. I thought they had made it to Tx in the first wave of our move.
