Tomato site from Europe
http://ventmarin.free.fr/passion_tom...ion_tomate.htm
Has anyone seen this site? Not sure what language its in but it has interesting stuff like tomato art, books on tomatoes from other countries, a long list of varieties, tomato stamps, movies, history and more. Even somthing about tomatoes for adults and tomatoes for infants? Is there a way to translate sites to English? Brad............ |

Hi Brad, I use http://babelfish.altavista.com/ for web page translation. It works more often than not, although some words it can not translate. I hope it helps

Google will translate. It's not perfect by any means, though -- sometimes you'll get some amusing results. The best way I know of to go about it would be to do a search, then click on 'translate this page'.

PS....The site is in French so you will have to put French to English to translate.

I've known about Ventmarin for many years and have given the link here and other places.
I have it translated right off Google as well although a few basic words in French really are almost adequate for getting the gist of the blurbs. It's pretty darn good for tracing the backgrounds of some tomato varieties that aren't explained otherwise. And correct, no seeds are sold, same as with Jeff Nekola's site, no seeds sold. But since there are probably at least 3-4,000 varieties now available commercially in the US, plus add on the several thousand more available to SSE members thru the Yearbook, I would think that anyone could be pleased with the varieties now available in terms of variety selection.
