Yes yes yes. We know Alberta is in a foreign country... But did you know they grow tomatoes there? It's true!

toot, any chance your initials are AB ?

Or possibly it's a rating: ABysmal.

Since "AB" is written on all varieties and not really suffixed, it is prolly just the sender's initials,

Andrey_BY · February 4, 2017

This could be me (Andrey Baranovski) or Antonio Banderas or somebody else initials of the sender or breeder or intermediate seed source

I am just curious . Does anyone recognize these seed packs. I am sure they are old-2010 till 2 years ago. I starting buying my seeds. These were given to me in a trade. Seeds
German Red Strawberry- GF
Wild Rose Red -AB
Mashenk Pink -AB
Novice -AB
Big German Pink -AB

These are in a different trade. Proably a round robin. The (ab) is after the seed names.
Orange giant -(ab)
Novikovs giant-(ab)
Ruslan yellow (ab)
just wondering I have looked thru my trades and cant find those initials

tootaloo · February 6, 2017

could it be U Andrey ?

when I first started I followed all the great posters on here. You could of sent me some great ones to get me started.

Andrey_BY · February 6, 2017

Most of varieties mentioned were originally from me, but these are not my seed packets - I use the same trasparent, but with info stickers

Correct varieties names (Russian/translated in English) are:
Orangevyi Gigant (=Orange Giant)
Gigant Novikova (=Novikov's Giant)
Ruslan
Dikaya Roza (=Wild Rose)
Mashenka
Novichok (=Novice)

Maybe they were processed in an acid bath? Then the GF is (something) Fermentation? Gel Fermented?

tootaloo · February 6, 2017

Then these were repackaged for a round robin. I am going to try to wake them up. Just curious about the extra lettering. Thank you for ur time.

The seed packs in #10 are exactly like the ones I received from David LeMasters and the AB is Andrey B.
