Have just harvested 2006 Hawkins tomato seeds for SASBE.
The tomatoes are a red (approx. 1 lb.) fruit - great in salads, sandwiches, sauce and eating straight off the vine.
The seeds have been saved each year from a plant originally discovered more than 30 years ago by my father-in-law. My Dad took over growing the tomatoes & now he is getting on in years & would like to see the seeds distributed to as many people as possible to keep this incredibly delicious tomato growing.
In honor of my father-in-law this tomato was named the Hawkins tomato.
Please e-mail me for my address.
Thanks,
LJ

ljz8, I sent my SASE on the 6th, and I haven't gotten any seeds, a problem maybe. If you didn't get it let me know, and I will resend it.
Hi,
I don't know what happened but I just received a second e-mail from someone saying they didn't receive their seeds yet. I have always sent the seeds back the same day that I have received the SASBE. If you have asked for the Tomato Seeds & haven't received them yet - Please let me know - I will re-send them to you.
Thanks,
LJ
Update:
One person received their seeds on Oct. 23rd, the envelope was postmarked Oct. 11
Again - Please let me know if you haven't received the seeds yet.
Thanks...
