Andrey- SO happy to see your variety list this year and your starts.
Is Tyulpan Rozovyi (aka Pink Tulip in English) a newer variety? It seems I have seen it in a few pictures recently. I am also wondering, have you grown the two Slivka's before?
Thanks,
Heide

Heide, these 3 varieties are new for me, but they are quite popular here in former USSR countries.
Tyulpan Rozovyi (Pink Tulip)





Slivka Bendrika Krasnaya




Slivka Bendrika Zholtaya



This is Alexandr Bendrik, father of these 2 really prolific plum shaped tomato varieties. He is 76 y.o. from Ukrainian small town Horodnia near Chernihiv.

Andrey, thank you for all those pictures. Fabulous!
I especially love the photo of Mr Bendrik. As you know, I ran a Ukraine Tribute grow out last year so I am partial to Ukraine varieties. A friend from Ukraine actually just sent me these exact seeds! Here are my descriptions:
Slivka Bendrika Krasnaja- Ukraine 50-80 g 2 m tall pink- Bendrik’s red plum in Russian, mid tall thick stem RL almost rugose cross of De Barao Yellow and unknown USA red tomato. Plant appears like a waterfall
Slivka Bendrika Zholtaja ez tomate- Yellow sister to the above

Can you tell me if these tomatoes are long keepers? Is there any other info I should add?
Thank you!
Heide

Heide,you've got a good information about these 2 varieties with red (not a pink!) and yellow fruit.
I can add only that these are very desease and draught tolerant varieties. Mr. Bendrik use watering only serveral time after translant in open ground and then let seedlings grow strong deep roots to find extra watering.
These Slivkas are with thick walls and good keepers indeed.
They are very prolific since both parents lines (female red variey from US and male De Barao Yellow are very prolific). One truss hold up to 20-25 fruit (1.5-2 kg).
Really waiting for testing these varieties this year

My dacha these days
It's time to change the upper soil on one of tomato greenhouses this spring.
Roses and rododendrons are still under covers.

So cool to get to see another part of the world growing tomatoes! I had to google dacha, what a nice growing space. I am in California and we had frost again last night, very unusual for us for in March, so I sympathize with your extra snowfalls. Hopefully spring will bring more warmth soon!

Thanks, Dak.
More than a half families here own or rent dacha in the country. That's our Soviet heritage to have a small piece of land (usually about 600m2~0,15 acre) with a small handmade summer-house and several greenhouses.

Our weather are to be much better in a week
