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 http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/R...b=General_Info 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. Carolyn

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. |

And what wonderful varieties Mike at Ohio Heirloom sells,and so many seeds for so little money. Carolyn

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.
