Recommendations for Russian varieties needed

svalli · January 1, 2011

Beginning of new year and increasing (slowly) day light made me to look for places to order seeds from, even I already have seeds for too many varieties.

Seemnemaailm in Estonia sells quite many Russian varieties. Can anyone recommend tasty varieties for greenhouse or for extremely short outdoor season?

Descriptions on the site are hard to read, since I do not know Russian and the online translator makes funny sentences. I can understand the Estonian descriptions a bit, since it is similar to Finnish. I am planning to order at least Black Moor, Japanese Golden Truffle, King of Siberia, Chernomor, Zolotoy Byk, Snow Leopard and Icequeen.

The best place that I can recommend is one of our fellow Tomatoville folks-Andrey. He has a lot of seed and you can probably find lots of posts describing different seed and also maybe a thread with past variety lists. He is in Belarus. He introduced a lot of folks to many great varieties.

His TVille name is Andrey_BY

Svalli, a couple varieties he will have that I can recommend on their taste and earliness are Sibirskiy Skorospelyi (medium-sized red) and Mini Gold (plum shaped yellow cherry). Both have excellent taste and load up quickly. Both are smaller plants. Mini Gold is definitely determinate, and I think Sib/Skor is semi determinate (it will produce here right up until frost).

BTW, hope your holidays were GI-NORMOUS-LY happy.

Take care.
