New Heirloom Varieties from Hungary
I mentioned this to Carolyn in another forum that I had gotten seedlings from a coworker who is a first generation american from Hungary. As his last name is Kiss I gave him last year some tomatoes from Maidens Kiss and KBX. He really got excited and saved the seed and is growing them this year. Anyway he got hooked and I asked him if he could check with his relatives in Hungary and see if they knew any families growing the same tomatoes year after year in their garden. Anyway 2 or 3 months later he came to me all excited and said one of his relatives in Hungary have been growing 2 different varieties since the early 1800's. So he gave me a seedling from each last month and they have no names. One is supposed to be a red Ind and size wasn't mentioned. The other is supposed to be an Det red, shaped like an apple again no size given. Here are pictures of the seelings taken today. Ami
