Default How to get seeds from Russia

I want some Hercules tomato seeds from Sedek Seeds in Russia. Anyone know how I might be able to buy these and get them to the USA??

Thanks
Tim

You might like this better.

From the link (contact info at the end of the catalog)
click on the british flag for english version anywhere on their site...

sells a lot of Russian/Ukrainian/Czech varieties, also a lot from Sedek. I haven't checked whether they actually offer Hercules also, but I can say that I've placed several orders and always got my seeds very fast and without any problems.

You should click on the British flag on the starting page!

I just had to do it Worth.
http://translate.google.com/translat...60%26bih%3D512

I had to first translate Hercules into the Russian and then Google for Геркулес tomat. From there click on Translate this page to get there.

I have been hoping that Tania or one of the other native Russian speakers would happen along.

I even searched the Tomatobase using Геркулес as she usually includes the original name in the description but I drew a blank.

I see no one really answered you question. First contact them and see of they will ship to the USA. If they will you can take a chance that they will go through if they are set up with the right certificates. There is a small lot seed import permit available from the USDA. I have never used it.

Another choice is to see if someone living where they will receive them and then ship it to you. A packet of seed in a hand addressed envelope is likely to go through.

Either choice you need to understand that they make not make it here. From what I read here you could e looking at 2 months or mor eto get them from there to here.


Third choice is to ask if anybody has a few in the wanted section.

What about these tomatoes is attracting your attention?

I'm not sure how to order seeds from Sedek in Russia but Seemnemaailm appear to have some Томат Русский Богатырь http://www.seemnemaailm.ee/index.php?GID=15256 Though with google translate for me it comes up as Tomat ''Russky Bogatyr'' Which looks to be the same as Russian Bogatyr listed at Tatiana's http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Russian_Bogatyr . And seeds are available from Glecklers.

Геркулес (Hercules) and Русский Богатырь (Russkiy Bogatyr) are not the same.
Tim, I can send you some Геркулес seeds if you send me your home address by PM

Some of those varieties are really attractive-looking. I am looking at the number thirteen on the left. Number five isn't bad either.. That kind of cherry types always appeal to me.
I think we all need to place a massive order via Andrey

Thank you, that makes sense.

A little confusing that Sedek has a picture of a packet "Русский Богатырь" but the English translation is given as Hercules? I wonder which one it is!

Anthony, Adolf Hitler had a dream to win over Soviet Union (and Russia inside it) just in one month or so, but fascists (one of the most powerful Army that times) have been destroyed. We've done this together with friendly countries losing 27 millions of our people.

Russians says: who comes to us with a sword will die by this sword!
Remember this and, please, don't mix tomatoes and politics!
Think twice before posting something like this here and don't believe everything on American and Canadian TV and newspapers, especially about that Ukraine hype! You don't know even a half of real situation, unfortunately...
