But of course, more language skills are welcome!

Yes Clara, I do hope that more sign up b'c as is true with many here at Tville, some are here in late Fall, looking perhaps for seeds and the grow lists of others, then exit right and come back later in early Fall to see how varieties they might have been interested in did for others. As well as sharing their results.

As is oft said, the more the merrier.

Carolyn, who also gets a glimpse of life elsewhere from the postings of many here at Tville who are from other countries.

Carolyn, you need to get a ham radio license so you can talk to folks in those countries. Some of those folks might even have some family heirloom tomato seeds to send you along with their QSL card. You'd have a ball.

Iva, I haven't seen you here much lately, so I'm delighted you decided to sign up.

Thanks,

Carolyn, noting that one person who does seed production for me grew Iva's Red Berry this past summer. I haven't seen the results yet.

[Iva]

I'm here almost every day, just don't have much time to post much

Iva's Red Berry is still my favorite red cherry tomato and it was amazing again this year. Hugest plant of all and fruits that are soooo sweet. I hope it gets more widely spread and loved as it is by me...

If she gets good seed production, trust me, I know how to spread around little known tomato varieties to many places, including my own annual seed offer here at Tville, and have been doing so for several decades.

You can also send seeds to the (almost annual) seed exchange in Poland. Unknnown and little known varieties are very welcome.

Apparently I can't edit, so please add the following:
Slovak: translation
Cyrillic: transliteration
Cyrillic script is used in eg. Russian, Ukrainian, Belarussian, Bulgarian, Macedonian and sometimes in Serbian. Also some non-Slavic languages in Russia. Cyrillic is based on Greek capitals with added letters for sounds peculiar to Slavic languages. Hand-written Cyrillic is a searate issue best left to the people who learned it at school: Tania, Andrey, Marina etc.
It may seem that handwritten Cyrillic is irrelevant to tomatoes, but sometimes you may need to read a birth certificate, where typically names of persons and places are handwritten. There is a similar problem with Fraktur (Gothic etc.), which is most typically seen in German, but also languages of neighbouring countries.

Thanks Gunnar.

I tried to teach myself cyrillic with capitals but didn't keep at it. But was recently able to transliterate to find the name of a variety was Sugary Elephant, which amused me greatly and with which someone agreed I was correct, and hoping that seed production went Ok so I can offer it in 2014.

You can't believe how proud I was of myself.

I hope to better communicate with you?

First, thank you Francis for signing up to help.

And Andrey, you as well. You've helped me for many years now with translations and more, so thanks very much.

I talked briefly with Mischka yesterday as to how to set this up, but there are other priorities right now, so it will just have to wait until more attention can be given to it.

Don't we have a member with Chinese language skills? I have seed packages from China, but can't read the labels, therefore I haven't grown them yet... If anybody knows a site on the web helping to transcribe Chinese signs into Latin characters, I would be very thankful. I had found one, but could only transcribe very few signs, so every help would be much appreciated. clara

[NarnianGarden]

I have some Chinese seeds too .. curiosity overcame my better judgement and I bought the supposed heirloom seed mix on Ebay. Inexpensive, but I wonder what they really are. (as long as they are tomatoes, non-GMO and edible, I won't mind!)
