Hi Catharine, I think you are aware that both Seymour's Seeds and Totally Tomatoes are subsidiaries of Shumway. Another subsidiary is Vermont Bean Seed. I have spoken with the new president of Shumway and got the distinct impression that I was talking to a "wheeler dealer". I may be paranoid but, like you, I won't trust that bunch farther than I can throw them. I get practically all of my seed from individuals with whom I trade to quite an extent. I do trust Tomato Growers' Supply and Southern Exposure Seed Exchange and use both regularly. I think I'll pass on Caspian Pink this year. I already have 192 plants to grow out and that's a lot of seed to save.
