how do you name handed down seeds for or from unknown generations
ok how do i start this one....
i just received a letter in yesterday that reads.... lets see where did it go... apparently i talked to someone ... ok i opened it and there is one packet of seeds and it reads.. mr lemasters i had met you at the festival in scottdale. i am enclosing the seeds that we had discussed. these seeds came for a three pounde oxheart tomato but the tomato resembled a paste tomato. they were originally brought back from italy sixty years ago by a gentleman named guildo pietroboni, who has been deceased now for fifteen years. i aquired the tomato seeds from a freind of mr pietroboni's son. good luck wih the seeds. see you at the next festival. very truly yours ferp necciai what or how would you name this seed because the package is blank... guildo pietroboni's heritage seeds? wow a long name... would this be a correct way or renameing a variety that who knows if it has ever been crossed or closely monitored. which is about true with alot of varieties.. so.... has anyone grew any that closely resembles these? from italy? and what do i name them? ------------------------------------------------------------------- this year i was going to try to do strawberry types of tomatoes if anyone has any of those i dont already have available for trades...
