Have you ever seen such beautiful tomatoes?

When I was researching amaranth for my last post I was captivated by the gorgious heirloom veggie pictures on the Kokopelli Seed Foundation site.

So beautiful. Their message and mission is too.

‘Kokopelli Seed Foundation believes that the only way towards world food security is free access to open-pollinated seeds and revival of sustainable organic agriculture. What is the future of a civilization which is destroying the seeds and the soil?’

Their mission is ‘really to create a “community supported seed fund” to provide poor farmers in poor countries with the seeds they need for their gardens or small farms.’

It’s a pretty awesome organisation. You can donate seeds, or cash to buy seeds with.

Go.
Grow.

    Hehehe!

    That I am - last year I had three “sweet 100″ plants that grew well over six feet tall and had green tomatoes on them well into November!

    There’s nothing better in the world than a fresh ‘mater. :-)

    I’m with ya baby. I’m the Queen of tomatoes(at least in my little corner of the world). I love to grow indeterminates and just lollop them over the top of the trellis an’ let ‘em go and go…

    Love the lil cherries and the heirloom wierdo varieties(I grew a purplish kind last year, didn’t produce much but so huge and sweet as plums) as well as the good ol’ juicy red salad ‘maters.

    Mmmmmm… Now I’m drooling!
