Tatiana - seeds

[Tania]

My dear friends,

First of all, I would like to thank you for all the love, support, help, and encouragement you sent my way in the difficult times. So many things happened to me this year, including the last devastating hit - the loss of my 2011 tomato growout project. I am still grieving. 2011 was supposed to be the year I planned to grow all the varieties with very low seed count and/or very old seeds with challenging germination. This is why losing the crop this year was the most devastating event.

Although the losses were high, in this situation I also gained so much, that I have to say that the gains are much greater than my losses. First of all, the greatest and most precious thing I gained is seeing so many true friends and supporters - you Tomatovillians, my customers, my [former] team at my last job, my co-workers from my previous job, my doctor, my family... THANK SO MUCH FOLKS FOR BEING HERE FOR ME. I am very honored and very touched.

My losses:

1. Complete (or nearly complete) loss of the seed stock for 84 varieties (I will post the list below)
2. Opportunity to take pictures and document another 225 varieties for TOMATObase
3. Opportunity to save fresh seeds for the 225 varieties
4. Loss of the 1 year in my 10 year growout plan of refreshing the seed stock for 1500+ varieties in my seed collection I haven't had a chance to grow yet.
5. no fresh home grown tomatoes for me this year

Thank you for all your help offering the seed replacement. This help me with #1, #3, and perhaps even with #4.

If anybody is willing to help me with #2, I will also be most grateful. Please let me know if you want to help with TOMATObase, with your tomato pictures or descriptions - it does not need to be necessarily info/pictures for the lost varieties, any contribution will be gratefully accepted! As the most important thing for me was to have the TOMATObase to share the information with all tomato folks...

THANK YOU.
Tania

I am still looking for the varieties marked in bold.

[Tania]

I would like to ask everybody who is participating to follow a few simple rules that would help me tremendously to keep track of what what is being offered.

1. Please post in this thread (no PMs please) what variety you can offer, your original seed source, and the year the seeds were collected, and how many seeds you can share.
   
   
2. Duplicate offers are gladly accepted.
   
   
3. I will keep track of this information by updating my 2nd post in this thread, so everybody else can see what was already offered and what was not.

[lurley]

I can send,

amish yellow giant- made a mistake, I have large yellow amish, is this the same? Either way if you want it I have 10 seeds from tomatofest 2010 I can send
brown's yellow giant -10 seeds, tomatofest 2010
gold medal-I have 12 seeds from baker creek 2010, and also gold medal yellow(the same?) from tomatofest 2010 -10 seeds if you want them
hazel mae- 8 seeds from tomatofest 2010
indische fleish-8 seeds from tomatofest 2010
serendipity striped-10 seeds from tomatofest (not suze, my mistake, that was serendipity) 2010
the dutchman- 12 seeds from baker creek 2010
thessaloniki-10 seeds from baker creek 2010
todd county amish-7 seeds from tomato growers supply 2010
vintage wine-I can't find my seeds for this one but I have it growing in the garden and I have bags so I can send you bagged seed for this one in the fall
vorlon-2 seeds from jeff casey's heirloom seeds 2010, I also have this one growing and can send more seed in the fall, bagged

All commercial seed sources except the serendipty striped, got that from Suze, and all from this year.
Dang jumped before I saw the rules post...will check to see how many of each I have to send and will ammend tonight including commercial source. I put 2010 as the year, they were ordered in late 2010 and early 2011 for planting this year, so I'm not sure what year that makes the seed, 2010 or 2011? All my seeds from previous years was destroyed this past spring so I had to start my collection over, so everything is new.

[Sherry_AK]

Wow! What a remarkable list. I have Campbell 1327 and am growing it this season so I can provide fresh seeds at the end of summer and would be glad to do so. I'm also growing Vorlon for the first time. I may have seed left for it or can possibly provide fresh seed at the end of the season, but it's coming along a little slowly for me.

I'd be glad to contribute any pictures I might have. Will you post a separate list for what you need?

Sherry

EDIT: Didn't see your follow-up msg re rules. I'll have to check about original seed source, etc. Stay tuned!

EDIT 8/3/11: Orig seed source for Campbell 1327 is Tomato Growers Supply - 2007. I can send a dozen or more seeds from this original pack in addition to what I save from this season.

[nctomatoman]

I can help with the following (surprised at how few I have!):

Arkansas Traveler (seed from 2008)
Noire Charbonneuse (seed from 2006)
Indische Fleische (seed from 2004)
Polish (Ellis) (seed from 2001)
Vintage Wine (seed from 2005)

Let me know if this works for you...

[Idahowoman]

I have Orange Minsk and Burning Spear.
These are from Gleckler Seedman and I bought them in May 2011.
I can send 10 seeds of each.
Susan

[ContainerTed]

I just put some Arkansas Traveler seeds into fermentation. Will have plenty. Seed source Burpee.

I also have:

Amish Potato leaf growing in the garden. Seed source Carolyn Male.
Bradley (seed from 2010)
Manyel (seed source Carol Knapp 2010)

Glad to help.

[clara]

Sorry, Tania, from your list I only have

Orange Minsk (source Carolyn) and
Tarasenko 6 (seeds from an English friend).

Both are actually in my garden; I can only send them after this fall. No fruit set yet, but I'm hoping to get at least some fruits. clara

Amish Potato Leaf, 2003, lots of seed, I introduced it, seeds from Doug Wallace, who posts here,

Burning Spear, 2010, Adam G sent to me for my 2011 seed offer. 20-30 seeds, etc. My Burning Spear seed offer seeds from Melody Rose had some offtypes, possible xing with seed production, thus those from Adam

Kiev, older seeds,can't remember when or how many, I introduced it

Noire Charboneuse, I think sent to you, older seeds, may have more

Orange Minsk, 2008, original seeds from Andrey, plenty of seeds

Todd County Amish, 2003, plenty of seeds, and I introduced it, from Doug Wallace of MN, who posts here.


Best I can do Tania. As you know, since 2005 I've been growing lots of newer varieties, new to many, b/c I can grow so few these years. And I know you list many of them for sale, and that's good.

[remy]

Oh the Amish Potato Leaf Zana has are from me which were grown from Carolyn's 2003 seed.
Remy

Tania

I am out of town, will have to check some of your varieties, but I know I can send you lots of seed of Santorini. I dont know if the seed you have was originally from me, but I have seed I will send you that I brought back from Santorini. Its several years old, but I grew out this summer from the same seed and had excellent germination.

[raindrops27]

Tatiana,

Just know the Lord works in mysterious ways. He is always watching out for us. Despite, the troubles we face.

Anyhow, I have.

Orange Minsk seeds. From Knapps Farm. Purchased July 2011. Can send 10 seeds.
I also have New Big Dwarf. I have no idea, if it is the same as Red dwarf. If it is. I can send along 5 seeds. Just let me know.
