    Super cheap seeds!

    :lol: I doubt you'll have to worry about summer squash for a while! Silkiechicken is right though, I'd hate to put so much time and energy into a plant to find it does terribly. I will definately try the seeds but the majority of my tomatoes will be my tried and true seed company brands.
