I thought if I posted a detailed description of the packet and the seed type that it would catch the attention of the swapper that sent it in...forgot about Gardenweb. All things considered, only one 'mystery' out of all these seeds packs is pretty darn good.

I received one pack that had 2 labels in it. Blue Suede-uth Shoes RL and Brandywine Sudduth PL. Guess I'll grow that one out to see which it is. Good thing they have different leaves

I had the same question and an identical response, and someone here set me straight. Check out the very first post in this thread for the whole story on this one.

Here is a new one to me "Waladeck's Polish Giant". Does anyone know anything about this one?
I can not find it anywhere.

I've spent a good amount of time this past weekend sorting and researching. There were quite a few that had little to no info in the Tomatobase, but a lot of googling turned up the details I wanted on all, except one. Can anyone tell me about Nighthawk? One obscure mention I found said it was a paste, but I haven't been able to come up with anything else. Thanks!

BKX is a potato-leaf version of Black Krim.

My search turns up a "Ryder's Midday Sun". Possibly the same tomato.

Thanks for looking, Gary! I guess I'm going with plump, yellow, from the UK, and (based on an old thread at idig and a photo I found here - http://vivekagardens.com/tomato-time/) cherries.

"Oxheart Giantissime" says its Indet Pink 85 days, up to 2.5 lbs

Anyone find this one on the internet? Is this the correct name?

Thanks,

- Scott

I received this one too and did some hunting. It's actually Giantissima (a on the end) as that's how it's listed at Tania's site, but with a comma between the two words -

t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/wiki/Oxheart,_Giantissima#tab=General_Info

Not much info there, but I did find a photo here -

http://davesgarden.com/community/for...hp?pid=7170646

That's all I could come up with.

OK, I think I've tracked down most of them. But I do still have a couple of questions.
Is Yellow Boy the same thing as Lemon Boy? something I saw, perhaps on Tatania's site, made me think it might be, but I am not sure.
I couldn't find anything on Russian Potato or Mom's Heart. Anybody got any hints? (I'm guessing what to expect with Mom's Heart, but Russian Potato really has my imagination running in strange, potato-shaped or perhaps potato-textured fruit directions.)
