Andrey:

"Looking to these seed packets on that Estonian e-shop
I can get you 100% that they are definately not growing
all these seeds and varieties in Estonia."

I meant that the US vendor whose web site that
URL that I posted is part of grows their own tomatoes
for seed. (They may have help from local farmers
in their area.)

They say so, but of course that proves nothing
in itself, and I haven't seen their farms, greenhouses,
etc. But the germination rates that I have had from
that US vendor's seed are consistently around 9 seeds
out of 10 across multiple different cultivars. That
seems a little too consistent to me for repackaged
seed from multiple different vendors. (I don't see
that kind of consistent germination rate buying
seed myself from multiple different US seed vendors.
Some packets are very fresh and germinate well,
while others have mediocre germination rates,
regardless of the date on the seed packet.)

I get the impression that the GH Organics seeds
that I have sprouted were all fermented by the
same person using the same method from fruit
grown in the last year or two. (Free sample
giveaways may be older seed.)

"And Peramoga 165 is still one of the most popular
tomato varieties of Belarusian (not Belarussian,
because Belarus is our official name from 1992)"

(I was guessing on the spelling. Thanks for the
correction.)

"origin since Soviet Union times. And PerEmoga is just
a Russian mistaken spelling of Peramoga (victory)
from Belarusian language."

So would farmers in Estonia likely find it suitable
for their growing season?

I would guess that the seeds that the US vendor
grew out came from tomatoes grown in Estonia,
which is how they got the idea that cultivar itself
was from Estonia.

I just hope it tastes as good as it looks and that
I get lots of them.:-)
