Yes yes yes. We know Alberta is in a foreign country... But did you know they grow tomatoes there? It's true!

toot, any chance your initials are AB ?

Or possibly it's a rating: ABysmal.

Since "AB" is written on all varieties and not really suffixed, it is prolly just the sender's initials,

This could be me (Andrey Baranovski) or Antonio Banderas or somebody else initials of the sender or breeder or intermediate seed source

I am just curious . Does anyone recognize these seed packs. I am sure they are old-2010 till 2 years ago. I starting buying my seeds. These were given to me in a trade. Seeds
German Red Strawberry- GF
Wild Rose Red -AB
Mashenk Pink -AB
Novice -AB
Big German Pink -AB

These are in a different trade. Proably a round robin. The (ab) is after the seed names.
Orange giant -(ab)
Novikovs giant-(ab)
Ruslan yellow (ab)
just wondering I have looked thru my trades and cant find those initials

could it be U Andrey ?

when I first started I followed all the great posters on here. You could of sent me some great ones to get me started.

Most of varieties mentioned were originally from me, but these are not my seed packets - I use the same trasparent, but with info stickers

Correct varieties names (Russian/translated in English) are:
Orangevyi Gigant (=Orange Giant)
Gigant Novikova (=Novikov's Giant)
Ruslan
Dikaya Roza (=Wild Rose)
Mashenka
Novichok (=Novice)

Dikaya Roza (Wild Rose) and Novichok (Novice) are reliable and quite good indeed.
