I went looking for seedless watermelon seed, got a bit of sticker shock, 10 seeds $9. I found out seedless have to have a regular watermelon planted near them to be a pollinator because they are sterile.
I love kale and while I was on the seed site I ordered a bunch of multicolored exotic kale varieties, again big bucks but I like the stuff.
Red Russian was the only colorful variety I planted last year but I liked the way it looked and tasted.
The picture is the greens patch after the ice storm, almost a foot of snow and temps in the low teens for a week. It weathered the storm quite well and sprang back in a week or two to be beautiful again.

I preserve unused seeds in my freezer. I have 10 year old seeds that are still viable. When my supply goes down I get more

I have a tomato called the JCM. was one branch off a cherry tomato that was yellowoff one plant in the 1970's off my fathers plant. Seeds been with me and my family 35yrs and these are loved by so many folks here now in Tennessee. You tell them coming up as seedilings as they have leaves shaped like a Potatoe. They grow to ping pong ball sized.
Just planted a few down my buddies farm right down road. They love em. Veracious growers, vine type.

I discovered one called "Mountain Magic" last year, sounds a lot like your heirloom, amazing taste and produced golf ball sized tomatoes by the bushel off one plant.
They are in the foreground of this picture.
