2017/2018 MMMM questions

[Tormato]

This will be the thread for questions on varieties in the swap.

Please don't ask "When will I get my package?"

Bean question: does anyone know any history or details of Sylvano's pole snap? It doesn't have any representation online, as far as I can tell. Thanks!

Egg Yolk is a great name for a cherry tomato, I had to try a couple this year. Report at 11.

Sylvano's was sent to me by lakelady. If I remember correctly, it's a 100+ year old heirloom from NJ via Italy. A flat, green podded, black seeded, romano type bean.

I hope you'll keep us updated. Be sure and save seeds if possible.

Too many consonants? Probably the variety is http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/W...%27s_Ukrainian


And I got the variety Zaitska in a different swap, labeled as a large red.

Brokenbar's Cost. Gen. - Assuming this is Costoluto Genovese

Beasl004, just going through some old posts and noticed that this had not been answered. I believe your assumption is correct and you have a very good sauce tomato there: from my Breeding for pastes thread -

But my sauce is Costoluto Genovese only. Nothing compares. A superior sauce tomato grown for generations for sauce and only sauce. Everything a sauce tomato should be. Over 35 years, I have probably grown well over a hundred and fifty varieties of sauce-type tomatoes (including hearts...) Those listed above are all I grow for sauce and drying (with drying being my preeminent
purpose.) Wyoming was a tough growing environment and these varieties took whatever the weather threw at them. It's easier in Mexico because just about any tomato grows well here.

Further info from BB is in this thread also. Now how to get some of those seeds down under...

In Marsha's picture thread you can find a pic of bacon lettuce etc. I couldn't find more info either. Not a variety name that works well in Google. Or rather too well.

Thanks for that. I had missed it in that thread. So it's a red potato leaf beefsteak.

That's by design.

A question about these tomato seeds:
'(Experimental) 15X F3-2 RL '

Are they from the experiments with a multiflora micro?
Since they are F3, I assume there might still be no-micro's between them? And we will know only later if they are multiflora or not. I read on another forum that curled leaves on seedlings could predict the multiflora characteristic.

Liliput?
Limbo?
