Title: Currant Tomatoes Wanter
Post by: Tinkie_Bear on March 15, 2008, 10:23:24
Hi,

I would love to try some currant type tomatoes (teeny weeny ones), sadly the seed order that included some from the USA has failed to arrive after 3 months waiting! 

If anybody has a couple of seeds to spare that would be great, I have loads of most things to swap back.

Please PM me and let me know what you are looking for.

Many thanks

Do you mean these Centiflor types?

The currant varieties are smaller than centiflors. Seeds by size have several varieties & nickys nursery have a couple too.

Thanks for clarifying,  Baccyman.

Sorry Tinkie, in that case can't help.


PS Do you think we should let Nicky know that "Current" is usually spelled with an 'a'?

Nicky should know already, she spelled it right in the description.

Isn't it strange how one can read something over and over and not spot something like that - I do it regularly  ;D

I've got plenty of spare seed if you want some.

We call them "Teddy Bear" tomatoes as many of the three to four year old children that pass my patio see them and ask for some to picnic with their teddy.  They are so small that even teddy can hold them!

Real name Red Currant .......very strong (real) tomato taste.

PM me with details for seed if required.
