Hi, I found this collection of toms while cruising for a specific white tomato, then found the seller came well reccommended from another source, thought you might want take a look. It is on ebay US
seller is Blue_Ribbon_Tomatoes
http://stores.ebay.com
There are other items too worth a look, I liked her collection of 20 types wih shipping to the UK it was very cheap and anything else you buy comes free for postage

Jeanine from that link I cant find the seller. ???
Click on the ebay link, the page will offer you a box to tick shop owners, type Blue_Ribbon_Tomatoes in there and press search, it comes up there but you have to click on it again where the owner says welcome to.. XX Jeannine
Is it legal to buy seeds from abroad?
this appears to be the direct link Jeannine is referring to

THANK YOU Mat, I am not very good at doing links. XX Jeannine
seeds from abroad, yes it is legal, although some types cannot be taken into the UK, having said that many many folk buy their seeds from abroad. I bought most of my seeds from the US and Canada when I lived in the UK.

Had a look, they are selling quite big quantites of seeds, but their sale packs of 20 varieties that you can choose is very good value, might be tempted! ;D
Yum Jeanine they look great I shall certainly give a few of those a go this year. ;D
Thanks for the link Mat.
"Get thee behind me, Satan" ;D
Oh Saddad, now go and take a look at
tatianastomatobase.com
Stop it, Stop it, STOP IT ;D

Those names! Bulls Bag, Purple Dog Creek, and Greasy Beans: they hardly sound like tomatoes but very tempting!
Ohh they look great, but as it's my first time growing toms this year, ill stick with 'Tigerella' :P
No no no no no no no no no no....oh alright then.....I tried to resist, but I have Jeannine leading me into tomato temptation AGAIN! ::)
I chastise myself for being so weak..... ;) 20 packets for $9.99 was just too tempting..... 8)
What did you get Deb? :)
More tomatoes for those needing their fix, UK this time.

Deb P: Envy, envy, envy...................
The only thing stopping me is knowing I haven't got the space to grow all the varieties I've already got :'(
Ha ha, you think that has stopped me? ;D
as if.. eh Deb. I am so bad!!
You must take a look at Tatiana's site too, yes you can buy seeds there but it is the database she has that is the real treat, if you wanted to know about an heirloom ton it is there with lots of links to other sites.
I am no good with links but just tap in Tatiana's tomatoes and it will come up.
I am just organising mine on my laptop, somehow I lost my lists and have to start all over again first the names and then the descriptions. I have been at it for 2 days and have just finished C.
So having bought them what are you going to grow?
I realised when I was on line last night that Tatiana's site is in Anmore which is a village about 2 miles from me.... oh dare I... trying to fight it..I will let you know.
I like the way that the seed seller on e bay has simply sold one as "Beefsteak" and not used it's aliases which sound so much more fancy like Crimson Cushion, Scarlet Beefsteak and Red Ponderosa I get cross when I see some places selling all three in the same catalogue as if they are different. Abe Lincoln is different to Abraham Lincoln by the way.
Copia is a stunning tomato, a rainbow of colours and it gets better when you cut them open, you must grow that one for sure.
Are you going for the record with Delicious..I believe it may currently hold it for size, it is a mid season one too so might beat the blight and Porter is good too as it can handle a bit of cool.
I am growing Rutgers I think this year as I am putting in a no prune patch so this fits in well.
Well have fun Deb, you did well!!
Come on Saddad!!!!

I've been wondering how many of the names on the EBAY list of toms are made up, a bit of a skeptic, seemed to be way too many that had Kentucky in the name...
Jeanine, my mom's absolute favorite was Rutgers although she didn't have available to her all the wide variety of seeds back then. But she thought the flavor was magnificent.
No I don't think so, the names show up to often in many of the cataaloges and data bases and I am familiar with many of them,
I do love Rutgers, it is apparently making a come back
