Seed vendors that Hot Water Treat tomato seeds
Trying to find vendors who offer Hot water treated tomato seed is difficult. I wonder if with the collective wisdom of TJ members we could make up a short list of the vendors who do Hot water treatment of their tomato seeds. Any suggestions ? I know I would be interested in this information.

Re: Seed vendors that Hot Water Treat tomato seeds
I am curious. Is there an advantage to them doing it instead of yourself? I honestly am not knowledgeable about the risks of pathogens being carried on seeds, so do not know what would be best practice. I assume that is what it is for?

Bunny Hop seeds does. The disadvantage of the seller doing it is that it shortens the shelf life of the seeds. Better to do it yourself right before planting. They'll sprout quicker if they're wet out of the sou vide.
