I hope you like the taste of Russsian Queen better than I did.

I can't remember who sent me the seeds and where they came from as to country.I don't think Russia.Tania doesn't have much to say about it

And Steve at Heritage Seeds was offering it 4 years but don't know if he still is doing so.

I just checked my 2016 SSE Yearbook and no listings for it either.

Just curious,but where did you get your seeds for it?

On the upside I've grown 5 of the other ones you list,and IMO they are good ones.

I like Russian Queen very much and it gets asked for yearly garden plant give aways all the time. It is prolific, early enough, easy and tasty.
This year I planted RQ in April and with exception of few days when it was under overturned bucket it was without cover or my usual WOW. Did very well.

Carolyn, I would be happy to share some seeds with you for second try. Must have been a bad batch or just weather related. They do not crack, very uniform, uber presentable and totally worthy with taste.

Carolyn, you are right! My original seed source were Reinhard Kraft/Manfred Hahm-Hartmann.
