I don't have any of these, but I should have seed of Nadja, Clear Pink Early, Prima, Mobil, Korall, Taxi, Black Seaman, Stupice and Buckbee New 50 Days later in the season. I'll start a separate rthread when I have them.

Hi Biscombe!!!!
I'm glad to hear from you. Yes, you see I'm tomato mad. We'll swap with something else later this year, won't we :)

Hi Robert!
You've got very interesting stuff, most of my seeds are still in the green tomatoes, so later this year, I'll have a better choice too, let's keep in touch. I'm especially interested in those which do reasonably well outside. You see my green house is tiny.

So Robert, tell me which one is the winner for you?

Thank you very much for your reply.

Regards,
Natasha

I'll let you know later; I haven't grown any of these before. I got the seed off Ruud at the beginning of the year. Most of them are coming along fine; Black Seaman is slower, but one plant has some nice big toms coming so that's the one I'll take seed off.

I'd happily take both of yours.

Hi Biscombe!
Thank you so much. Yes, my list is not ready yet, I think September, October will be a better time to sort things out and see what we want to take into the new growing season and what was a flop!

Kind Regards
Natasha

I've got Red Peach and Ginny's off your list and about 25 other heritage varieties Natasha... give me a reminder in about a month when I start bulking up my stock... tried Whippersnapper this year and have been really impressed... It is very lax and will look great in a basket or tub!
;D

Good grief - I never knew there were that many tomatoes kinds.  And here I thought I was so clever finding that I like sungold more than tumbling toms :-[  Boy - have I got a lot to taste and learn ;D 

I will be watching this posting and the swop pages with great interest later in the year and can hopefully do some swops to bulk up my non existing vegetable seed collection for my new allotment.
