Infos needed, please!

[clara]

I've got several seed packages of Russian and Ukrainian tomatoes with nothing than the Russian name and descriptions on them. I could put together all my nearly forgotten Russian knowledge and transcribe the names, but read and understand the descriptions - no chance! Therefore every single info is very much appreciated!

Deliziosus (not Delicious, the Burpee variety)
Denar
Dworzowij
Lagidnij (found a few infos at Tania's site, but would like to have more)
Linda Tscherwona
Persona
Wolgogradskij 5/95

All these varieties are red as I can see on the packages.

Thank you for your help! clara

Clara, did you order the seeds online from a vendor. Ami

[clara]

Yes, Ami, I did. And I can't get any infos from him. clara

[amideutch]

The reason I ask is if the site has the descriptions listed the below link to a translation site does a pretty good job on translating Russian and other related languages. Ami

Thank you for the link, Ami, but the descriptions are only on the packages. Perhaps Andrey will chime in and add some infos as the packages are all commercial ones - at least I hope so! clara

большо́е спаси́бо! clara

[Andrey_BY]

Always welcome, Clara (Всегда пожалуйста, Клара)

[clara]

Thanks again, Andrey! If you want some of these seeds, please shoot me a pm. clara

[Andrey_BY]

Thanks, Clara. Growing space is always a problem and I've got new to me seeds here enough for 5-7 years to try every year only new varieties

You can translate the site to english with google as well...

[clara]

Andrey, nearly all of us seem to have the same problem..., but as your descriptions sound so promising, I've just ordered 10 more Russian/Ukrainian varieties from the same vendor. Among them will be Linda Rozovaya, so I need not ask infos for it. Thanks again!

LuvsToPlant: The descriptions are ONLY on the packages, not on the vendor's site! Otherwise I would have found a way to translate them. clara

[LuvsToPlant]

I see...
It seemed to me I had found a site in the Europe with a translation change of description as well ...through Google.
I have never had to use it very often.
Well I hope you get some help.
Good luck!
