I was reading in the newspaper that people had developed freeze-resistent tomatoes; apparently they could be planted a couple of months earlier than normal (here, in the suburbs of NJ, I plant in mid to late May, which means it's August before I see any substantial rewards). Has anyone heard of these, and whether they'll be generally available?? Thanx Ihor Kinal ihnp4!hropus!ijk

Thompson & Morgan has a few varieties of very hardy tomatoes. They are called Sub-Artic Tomatoes. They can be placed out much earlier than regular tomatoes - like 2 months and they set fruit at much lower temperatures. See the Thompson & Morgan catalog. They are located in Jackson, NJ and you can go pick up your seeds yourself if you want. Sharon Badian ihnp4!mtgzz!mtgzy!seb
