Sheesh, Tatiana. i wish i had known about your site last winter when i was looking for some small tomatoes to grow as houseplants in-between seasons. My "toy" tomato world just got significantly larger!
i just spent a few hours creating a cut and paste list of thirty plus! varieties that most people would not know about and pasted them on the Urban gardening forum on Garden Web, and then linked to it from three other forums. A find like this is much too good to keep to myself. You'll definitely be getting an order from me before next winter! Jan Last edited by Nightshade; February 1, 2009 at 09:59 PM.

You are a fast decider! I'm still pruning my list....down to 8 so far. But agonizing over whether or not they are the right 8!
In posting the list, I ran afoul of Al, who, as you may know already, is the container mix Guru over there. He's very helpful and very well-respected, so i was delighted that Corrie jumped in and corrected his declaration that the post was spam. The absolute last thing i ever intended to do was to give you a bad name, Tania! Edited to add: ![]() jan Last edited by Nightshade; February 2, 2009 at 01:17 PM. |

Grushovka and Odessa might be a little bit bigger than
you would expect (although maybe not in a 2-gallon container). I have had Odessa plants at 3' growing in the ground, and I had the impression that Grushovka would get that big, too.

tThanks, Dice!
Grushovka was one of my eight. These are the remaining seven. Extreme Bush Yaponskiy karlik MiniRose Minibel Nevsky Promyk Spiridonovsie I imagine the MiniRose can get fairly big, too, but I think it may be worth keeping, for its virtues. Jan |

Thank you Jan and Penny, you are so kind!
![]() I wish I also had Japanese Dwarf (=Yaponskiy Karlik) to offer this year (I did, but quickly ran out of seeds). For some reason it became quite popular lately. I am growing it out this year to re-offer in 2010. ![]() Tania

Tania...I have grown Japanese Dwarf, originally from you for several years...Is this the same variety? I have a fair amount of seeds as I am offering it again this year for SSE...

Jeanne,
Yes, it is one and the same - as I made this 'common' mistake back in 2005 to translate the original Russian name... The original name is 'Yaponskiy Karlik' (translation: Japanese Dwarf). Sorry for the multiple typoes in my previous post, I certainly had my brain confused with Russian and English this morning. ![]() ![]() Tania
