Database of toms...??

[huntsman]

Does a tomato database exist?

I know of one for Chilli peppers, so the idea is not ludicrous...

Anyone?

Try Tania's one: http://tatianastomatobase.com

I think Tania's site is great but when I think of a data base for OP tomatoes I'm thinking of the SSE YEarbook where about 4,000 tomato varieties are listed by SSE members.

Another site to look at is:

http://ventmarin.free.fr/passion_tom...ion_tomate.htm

....which is in French, and the translation goes slowly, so usually I don't do it b'c the French words for color are pretty well known and one can convert from grams to ounces easily as well.

http://www.tomodori.com/

Another one in French

http://www.reinhard-kraft.de/

And Reinhard Kraft's photogallerie ( click on that word at the site) of pictures is always helpful. In German.

Only the list of varieties for the 2009 Yearbook with no other information.

And only SSE members can request seeds that are listed, for a suggested cost. It isn't a seed exchange or trading type of situation.

But no wheres else will you find such diversity of TOmato varieties listed.

Last I knew the Yearbook may be online next year, the whole yearbook, but will be available only to SSE members.

If you want to know more about SSE please go to:

seedsavers.org

Tom -- If I may be so bold as to speak for Carolyn, 'LQ' means Limited Quantity and those can be requested only by Listed Members.

Thanks D. I posted right after you and your post wasn't up when I was typing mine.

Thanks for posting the SSE online yearbook link. I knew I had seen the site last year, but for the life of me couldn't find it again when I started searching for it this week.
In my bookmarks now.
