Victory Tomato -Russian,Opinions please.
All those people who were lucky enough to get some (Victory ) tomato seeds from me this last season and are now growing them, I would love to know what your opinions of them are at the moment, as it is a wonderfull variety that originaly comes from an Island off the coast of Russia, and is quite different to the one offered by Victory seeds, and other old english greenhouse versions,
The plants in question are usually semi-determinate and grow to about four foot high, and usually are loaded with good average size tomatoes up to about a pound in weight, but most are about eight to twelve ounces each, very tasty and a very good producer. My seeds originaly came from (seeds of Kokopelli) then called (terre -de -semences) or something like that- I got them about ten years ago, and saved the seeds all that time, (Kokopelli -seems to be out of stock of any Victory seeds at the moment) so it seems to be quite scarce other than the ones that I saved. It is a very good and reliable tomato- with somewhat suprising production rate, and well worth hanging onto as a variety. some of you must have half grown plants of it by now- so I was just wondering -so far what your opinion of it is. |
