The year I grew it, it was productive and a pretty good large cherry or saladette tomato eaten fresh, and an outstanding dried tomato. The dried tomato tasted like pizza sauce to me.

Thanks Habitat for the review! much appreciated! Louie

I have a pepper seed question! I received a packet labeled "Numex 6 OP." Trying to determine if this is really Numex 6, which I can find almost nothing on, or if it's really Numex 6-4.

Tormato · January 17, 2015

From what I found online...aka New Mexico #6.

I received Marnie Brown's, but can find NOTHING about this variety.

I think it's probably Mamie Brown's pink tomato. I've seen it in the SSE
catalog. The photo shows a large, beautiful pink tomato.

So I have finished cataloging all of the varieties from the MMMM and the other swap I participated in. Here are the ones I was not able to find information on, most are from the other swap:

BOLSTAR GRANDE - Seeds were from Belgium
COEUR DE ZEBRE - (found description, see below)
FREGAT
GIANT (R??) Bad handwriting, looks like ROV, possibly RED?? (Found? , Giant ROO?)
ISTRA (Found description, see below)
JAUNE DU TOGO (found, it's a pepper...)
LEMON (found a description, see below)
LEV - Seeds were from France
LIPSTICK (found a couple descriptions, see below)
MOMENT
POU HANG
RASPBERRY GIANT - Seeds were from Belgium
RED DWARF (Found description, see below)
WILD SWEET YUM (It''s actually Wild Sweety with the notation "yum")
ZEMLJAK (Found description, see below)

Kevin, that's Giant Roo. I think you and I did the same other swap and have some of the same questions. I did read that Giant Roo is a large red beefsteak; I don't know anything else, though. The name seems to imply an Australian origin, but that is just a guess.

I received Klukva v Sahare KAIOKBA B CAXAPE in the swap. The closest thing I can find on it is in this link and I regret to say that I don't even know what language it is. Does anybody know more about this variety? Thanks.

Although I didn't send those, I have tried to grow them. That variety ('Sugary Cranberry') is supposed to be a small bush, determinate, red cherry.
Mine turned into something else - a larger bush with oval fruits that were still tasty, but not what I expected

Let us know how those turn out for you!

Thanks Greyghost!

Klukva v sahare (Cranberry in sugar) :

http://mag-semyan.ucoz.com/board/tomaty/determinantnyj/tomat_kljukva_v_sakhare/8-1-0-447

Mine grew about 4' tall but they were in small flower pots. Round red cherry, can be good for canning.
If the label has writing in Russian, it might be from me.

gvozdika · January 19, 2015

I received "Wild Sweety yum" too. I thought it is "Wild Sweetie" and "yum" is a comment

k3vin, you may have gotten Red Dwarf from me. It is a determinate dwarf and I guess what you'd call a microdwarf - very small plant loaded with red cherries, sweet when fully ripe. Perfect for windowsill in winter.... mine also flowered and set again after the first lot had been picked.
