Some new Russian seeds..

Andrey_BY · May 25, 2016

They are quite known outside mostly because of my seed trades and other gardeners who get connected outside CIS. Plus some E-bay traders without any knowledges about what they sell to you outside our places. They just buy all these Russian seed packs from regular seedshops here and have their margin

Our seed companies like Aelita is more into modern OP and F1 hybrids. Sibirskiy Sad is the only vendor with more than 80% of amateur OP varieties. Don't call them heirloom - we don't use this word here. Just amateur OP varieties. Some old as 50 years and more. So new from 2000s-2010s. It's more fair to identify like this.
The only chance to find real old Soviet OPs from 1980s and older is among local amateur gardeners here in CIS (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and so on)...
