I do! I mostly get my seeds from Baker Creek or Southern Exposure, but we do have one tomato that I got from my landlord, whose father brought it over from Italy about a hundred years ago. Unfortunately I'm not a great seed saver because our yard is tiny and it's hard to keep seed separated for anything that cross-pollinates.
In tomatoes, I'm very partial to Brandywine and Green Zebra, but they aren't wilt-resistant and die mid-summer in our garden, so we're only planting one of each. One of our new audition tomatoes is a Mortgage Lifter that's supposedly wilt-resistant, and Ten Fingers of Naples, which might be.
We're trying a whole bunch of lettuces, machê and claytonia (miner's lettuce), Zucchini Rampicante, and a couple other C. moschatas.
We're also growing Marketmore 76 for cucumbers; Cossack Pineapple ground cherries; Tonda di Parigi carrots; onions: Walla Walla Sweet, New York Early, and the ones that aren't Red Winchester; and some other things I'm not remembering right now.
I'm Mennonite! But not the kind who farms (despite what my neighbors would have you believe).
