   I hate getting some seeds, loving the outcome and then not being able to   
   ever find the seeds again. One of these was Oliver Brussels Sprouts. Another   
   is Lutz Green Leaf Beets.   
   But for tomatoes, I have managed to stick with heirloom varieties. New one   
   from last year is a Polish heirloom variety that came to this country   
   (supposedly) in the early 1900's called Opalka (Solanum lycopersicum). Named   
   after the family that brought them here. Very meaty, dry and few seeds.   
   I got a drop tomato from my neighbor and have had an 100% germination rate   
   this year.
