Johnny's is phasing out Monsanto seeds as they find replacements!

Oh man.... this is one of the best reasons that I've heard for people to start saving their own seeds.

I just spent a few hours looking through the tomato seeds available at Tomato Fest before placing an order. They have hundreds of tomato seeds. Tomato Fest has a listing for cooler climate tomatoes. Also, Seed Savers has quite a few. I live in Minnesota and grow tomatoes with no problem although we have a very short season. Some even survived a couple of frosts this year.

Hey Sinfonian -

I'm a little late to this discussion, but I wanted to suggest that you check out High Altitude Gardens and Seeds Trust. They specialize in short season varieties and have a bunch of tomatoes. I did great with Early Girl last year, but given that I want to avoid Monsanto, I'm going to try a couple of new varieties next year. My growing season is very short, although definitely a different climate than you - we're high and dry - but thought you might want to take a look.

I've been involved with both for years and both are highly reputable.
