I am thinking of growing short season/Russian tomotoes next year - preferably bush type.   Any suggestions on best varieties and where to get the seeds?

Are short season types the same as earlies?

I should think so.  Found a good site selling interesting tomato seeds but then found out it ceased trading this year.

Umm..there is quite a lot around those...but generally you would be looking those that fruit within 55-65 days (or so) from transplanting..Sub Arctic plenty, Alaskan fancy, First in the field, Lime Green Salad, Crisana, Prairie Fire,,etc, etc,,,
Those are all early bush type,,but looking at my GH..some of the cordon varieties that are mid-season have managed to fruit earlier than those this year ::)
I've got quite few others too....but untill I have collected seeds from them I don't have any spare..but if you want to send me PM later on...I'm sure we can sort something out ;) ;D

Thank you for your kind offer - I am still looking around websites though.  Some quite interesting seeds around don't you think.
