2015 grow list....Tomato's of the World
Maybe this will just end up as something to think about in January or it just might be something really fun. I was thinking how many tomatoes in my collection that originated in other countries after getting now new stash from Tormato. So listing only what I already have seeds for, but would enjoy hearing other choices and experiences for the countries and those that I missed!
It was amazing reading though Tatiana's database to see where some very familiar varieties actually originated from. I am sure Carolyn will have special feelings for many of them.

Rose de Berne for Switzerland. Very pretty color and great taste. Lithuanian for Lithuania. Malinowy Olbryzm for Poland. Purple Dog Creek from America, but then you could have a great Garden with just Kentucky heirlooms. Vera's Seed from Bosnia.

I could be happy with just Chinese varieties:
Ten Hung Tan Chieh as a red Huang Se Chieh as a yellow new this year for me, Qiyanai Huang as an orange and Chang Li, an oblong yellow cherry I like a lot. |

Tatiana has a view by origin (of course she does!)
http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Category:Tomatoes Here's some that I have in my seed box: CAMEROON:Heidi GUATEMALA: Mandarina AFGHANISTAN: Rumi Banjan JAPAN: Momotaro (I have an OP version) RUSSIA (Siberia): Sasha's Altai NEW ZEALAND: Margaret Curtain (I think... it's what I was told) ITALY: Belmonte (Calabria) I'm sure there's lots to add here, I just don't have many. I got a bunch last year from World Tomatoes but had trouble germinating some of them. Gotta try again! I got some from Korea, the Phillippines, Nigeria, and Iran. |

For Lithuania, there are a couple more tomatoes besides Lithuanian Crested Pink (a very nice pink heart tomato I grew last summer). There is Lithuanian, which is a pink beefsteak, and Savaro, a red cherry/salad tomato. Sheboygan is a pink paste-looking tomato that was grown by Lithuanian immigrants--I suspect it came over from Lithuania during the first major wave of emigration from the country in the early 1900's.
For France, add Jaune Flammee. It's an orange large cherry/salad tomato. Don't pick these too early unless you like really acid tomatoes, however!
