Great article about old seeds

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I was trying to find some info about Ben Quisenberry, a man who we can give credit for saving old heirloom tomato seeds. Ran across this article in the process and thought you all might like to read. Kind of long, but very interesting. In the middle of the article he talks about Mr. Quisenberry and gives a link to an article and picture of him. He was still saving tomato seeds from extinction (and big seed companies) at the ripe old age of 95! Neat old man.
