I was reading Tania's Tomatobase last night before going to sleep, so I must have dreamed of Russian tomatoes, because this morning while playing with compost I started wondering if my grandparents, who left Russia (near Minsk?) before 1917, ate tomatoes there. And if so, which ones? Or are most of the Russian varieties new(er) ones?
