Database of toms...??
Does a tomato database exist?
I know of one for Chilli peppers, so the idea is not ludicrous... Anyone? |

I think Tania's site is great but when I think of a data base for OP tomatoes I'm thinking of the SSE YEarbook where about 4,000 tomato varieties are listed by SSE members.
Another site to look at is: http://ventmarin.free.fr/passion_tom...ion_tomate.htm ....which is in French, and the translation goes slowly, so usually I don't do it b'c the French words for color are pretty well known and one can convert from grams to ounces easily as well. http://www.tomodori.com/ Another one in French http://www.reinhard-kraft.de/ And Reinhard Kraft's photogallerie ( click on that word at the site) of pictures is always helpful. In German.

And only SSE members can request seeds that are listed, for a suggested cost. It isn't a seed exchange or trading type of situation. But no wheres else will you find such diversity of TOmato varieties listed. Last I knew the Yearbook may be online next year, the whole yearbook, but will be available only to SSE members. If you want to know more about SSE please go to: seedsavers.org

Tom -- If I may be so bold as to speak for Carolyn, 'LQ' means Limited Quantity and those can be requested only by Listed Members.

Thanks for posting the SSE online yearbook link. I knew I had seen the site last year, but for the life of me couldn't find it again when I started searching for it this week.
In my bookmarks now.
