Carolyn,
I also occasionally shopped at the Estonian site. But now respond to a request for Russian seeds as follows: Директивы ЕС, к сожалению, теперь не позволяют ввоз российских семян ( EU directives, unfortunately, no longer allow the import of Russian seeds). I will have to look for another source of Russian seeds. Vladimír |

This year almost every variety Reinhard Kraft in Germany sent to me, I chose them, was from Russia,a couple from Bulgaria and one from Latvia. And all the ones that Clara got for me from the Estonian site, I chose them and cut and pasted them here just recently you can have several of them just by signing up for my seed offer, then you send me an e-mail telling me what you want, it's all described in my seed offers, and then I pay the postage to all who are outside the US, I just finished packing up seeds this afternoon for two more folks, still have 3 to go, who will be doing seed production for me this summer. Carolyn, who is convinced that her Swedish ancestors went to Russia b'c she's always been interested in Russian history and culture and when she hear's a men's Russian chorus singing she kind of melts into a pool of protoplasm.

Still might yet get F2 seeds from the winter-growouts of some of the crosses for the promiscuously pollinating project. I moved them into the greenhouse about a week ago. Some have fruits already, some don't. Last edited by joseph; April 8, 2015 at 04:25 PM. |

You mentioned grexes in your original post and I'm not so sure everyone knows what they are so here's a thread from Tville about SSE and grexes, and see link in post 7; http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=30276 Belyi Naliv. Why does it matter if it was grown in Dan's garden since mand of us in the semi-tundra have grown it, including me, and there were many seed sources as you can see, I got my seeds from SESE when Jeff McCormack listed many early ones he got from Russia http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Belyi_Naliv Stupice. There were four versions bred, two for ingound growing and two for glasshouse growing. I grew the Stupike rani one for inground and also one of the glasshouse ones and until you wrote what you did I'd never seen anyone who said they attracted bees. They didn't, at least for me. Galapagos Wild. There are many listings for just Galapagos wild listed in the SSE YEarbooks. Some are currants and some are cherries, the one I know best is: http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Sara%27s_Galapagos I had asked Amy to bring me back seeds for S. cheesmanii, but she brought back fruits and sent then to me and ASAP I knew they weren't what I asked for so contacted Dr. Chatelet at TGRC for his opinion. TGRC has a list of accessions for each of the Galapagos islands and since I knew which island it came from he was able to tell me what he did in the above link. Until fairly recently it was thought that all S. pimpinellifoliums ( currants) had exerted stigmas, which I know is what you want to increase X pollination, but I found out that only about half of them do from Keith Mueller, and he sad he was more concerned with his regular tomato varieties Xing with any so called pimps than the reverse. I know Old German very well. Why would it be useful in your breeding program? Just curious and I ask b'c it's a typical gold/red bicolor and late season and there are over 200 named such bicolors also known, so why Old German specifically? All for now, Carolyn

Please let me make just a few comments on some of them. I don't think what you have is Cherokee Chocolate, here's what I think you have: http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Chocolate Brad Gates didn't have a purple heart, what he had was Brad's Black Heart http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki...7s_Black_Heart White Zebra is not the correct name. It should be Blonde Boar as bred by Brad Gates.Long story here. The correct name is Grub's Mystery Green I can find a Tsar's Favorite but not a Tsar's Royal Gift but am wondering if you might be referring to: http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Tsar-Kolokol A variety I really do love. I see you are making several crosses with Snow White, bred by Joe Bratka, whom I knew very well. He also introduced the variety Velvet Red and then changed the name to Angora Super Sweet/ I grew both and they are the same as I see it, despite the comments that Tania made: http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Angora_Super_Sweet I hope my comments will help and just noting that Tania's data base with pages for over 4,000 varieties is a wonderful source of information: http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Main_Page Carolyn

Great, thank you Carolyn It's better for me to be sure what am I growing, to not repeat something just because of an incorrect name.
Here is Tsars Royal Gift that I have: http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Tsarskiy_Podarok Maybe it is Chocolate, And probably it is Brad's Black Heart, I got both from exchange. Yes I am making crosses with Snow White, I like it a lot, wish to have Super Snow White if it tastes the same.. And I absolutely love Velvet red, bougt it as Velvet Red, and I am growing it every year, taste is very nice and the plant is beautifull. This crossing is a lot of fun. I wish I had LA2644 - I have found it on Tania's page, I would for sure use it in come crosses. I like all those oddities in tomatoes.. furry foliage, strange fruits, smoky flavours.. lots of fun Last edited by loeb; April 9, 2015 at 11:37 AM. |

I too love Velvet Red/Angora Super Sweet, not so much for the fruits, but more of a decorative plant. When the sun shines on the leaves, which are narrow and highly dissected, the foliage just sparkles in the sun, For a strange fruit one you MUST grow Reisetomate, which is completely different from Riesentraube. Here's a link: http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Reisetomate Small cherry tomatoes attached to a larger tomato and it's called Voyage or Traveler b/c someone somewhere said it might be good to take along on a walk or hike and just snap off cherry tomatoes as you go. You can see fro the link that I've grown it and in seed offers quite a while ago, many years ago, I was sending seeds to others. Carolyn
