[stonysoilseeds]

i will post ,ine sometime soon except im a poor typist i find your list very inyersting animpressive remy i find it especially interesting that you do not include many of the more popular open pollinated hierlooms such as black krim , cherokee purple, black cherry,and kellogs breakfast. i am growing many more lesser known varieties this year and it will be intersting for me to compare the newer varieties with the popular hierlooms that have been my staple.......good luck with all your wonderful selections

[Anthony_Toronto]

I'll be doing:

brandywine sudduth
cherokee purple
indian stripe
black krim
paul robeson
gary'o shea
kbx
green giant
black cherry
kosovo
unknown sweet pink globe-shaped tomato
pl 'black cherry' like tomato (several generations out from purple haze)

[jerryinfla]

I transplanted these to a raised bed on Feb 15: First Prize, Better Boy, Big Beef, Sweet Million, Fletcher, Better Bush, and Lemon Boy -- all nematode resistant hybrids until I get RKNs under control. Here's what they look like today.



If the RKNs don't invade my summer squash and cucumbers, I'll be planting Arkansas Traveler, Cherokee Purple, Mortgage Lifter, Black Krim, Abe Lincoln, Honey Hybrid, and Virgina Sweets along with some of the above in late summer for a fall crop. We get two tomato growing seasons here in central Florida.

Stony,
Thanks! I like to switch things out variety wise. Last year I grew Black Cherry. The year before, I grew Cherokee Purple. I did grow Kellogg's Breakfast twice back in the 90's. I didn't like the flavor either time. When I went to CHOPTAG's tomato tasting and I had Gary Millwood's, they were fantastic. They must like KY more than here!

Anthony, Since you are so close to here, you must let me know how Paul Robeson does for you. I contemplated planting it this year.

great list remy. are you the remy from sampleseeds.com?

[carolyn137]

I'm still waiting for the original envelopes of seeds that Marina in Russia sent as well as same from Andrey in Belarus, as well as the resends. Note that Andrey sent me the first one on Jan 28 and Marina on I think Feb 2nd.

Marina just PMed me and said the seeds were in Moscow, she's tracking this resend one and it took about a week to get to Moscow from where she lives in Russia, so I told her to let me know when they hit the US shores and also told her that I had no more fingers to cross and was moving to toe crossing.

In the meantime I couldn't wait any longer so spent yesterday packing up seeds for Craig, who raises all my plants for me and separate packs go to Lee and Shoe in NC and Neil L in IL. And those were all sent off this AM. Shoe has said that if any new seeds come in if I can get them to him by mid-April that would work, bless him.

So as soon as I know what my list will look like I'll post it and all I can say is that there many many new varieties that will be new to all or most.

Carolyn,
I sure hope the re-sends get to you! I wonder if the originals were confiscated? I can't believe it took a week alone to get from Marina's house to Moscow. I won't complain about the postal service here again.
I'm looking forward to seeing you list. I'm sure it will be quite the unusual assortment.

Hi, Marina! I'm happy that your seedlings are looking good and I hope that your spring arrives soon- it's so hard to wait. Yes, Tania and others had quite a few Russian varieties that were very tempting. I'm trying a few more early varieties in hopes of finding a sweeter one to grow really early in the greenhouse. I'm pretty sure some people think I'm looney so posting my list just confirms it. Eddy and BigBrownDogHouse have some crazy big lists, too, so maybe you should just go ahead and post yours anyway. I love reading everyone's lists, but I hope everyone will post what their favorites were at the end of the season because I find that even more interesting.

[carolyn137]

Kath, to grow early in the greenhouse, but not necessarily an early variety ,have you considered Pervaya Lyubov ( First Love) which for the past several years or so has been one of THE most popular varieties from my seed offers as well as from SSE requests?

About 75 days, indet, PL , round pink, and almost everyone speaks of the sweet/tangy taste. Seeds originally from Andrey. But perhaps you've already grow it?

Yes, I know I'm an enabler, so deal with it.

[PA_Julia]

Hi Everyone!

Grandfather Ashlock
Tatar of Mongolstan
White Queen
Uncle Mark Bagby
Paul Robeson
Super Sweet Cherry
