TATIANNA'S SEEDS-AN OFFERING

HI ALL-
When I was organizing the Ukrainian Tribute Grow Out I contacted Tania (known for her well loved Tatianna's Tomatobase). She was offering to raise funds for Ukraine through sending her old seeds (from when she still sold them) for donations. I was lucky to get many varieties from her. These are gold :)

I can't possibly grow them all! I was hoping, by doing this offer, for folks to grow them to refresh them and get them into our circulation here. These seeds are older- 2012-2016, so they may need some TLC.

So here is the deal-please don't request if you really don't have space or you just will put them into your inventory.
Please plan to grow what you choose AND save seeds to send back into MMMM.

To participate-
Send me a DM with varieties wanted- I will respond if they are available, and with my address
You send me a SASE with your wanted variety list inside. I send back 5-8 seeds of each.
Easy, right?

Sorry if I screwed up your garden plans! Any questions? Ask!
Heide

Here is the list: pardon bad spellings-descriptions mostly from the internet

Put me down for Tsarskiy Lubimets 2020, I have grown it several years and it is on my list for this year.
I also have seeds for Mama Alla 2016, Sakharnyi Zhetyi 2021 and Volovie Ukho 2020. All from Tormato.
I also have 2021 seed for Sherkhan I received in the MMMM swap so there probably is more out there. I don't want to grow it though. I grew it several years ago and it didn't do well.

Hello Heide.
This is an outstanding project. Thank you again for your leadership in organizing another seed rescue.

Interested, but I won't be starting tomato seeds indoors until the very last minute, which is around March 15. My tomato seeds are packed up at the moment, and not planning to take a peak at what I have in inventory until that time. I'd be happy to help with about 4 plants, likely container varieties if any are still unspoken for. Last frost here is May 5-15 ish.

I'll continue to monitor the thread for sign ups, so please keep us posted.

-Lisa

Thanks @BettyC-5 and @greenthumbomaha !

Betty- Glad you liked Tsarskiy Lubimets - always good to know first hand experiences.

Lisa, Several of these are container varieties, so I am sure I will have some good ones for you when you are ready. Just if you could remember to write a slip inside your SASE's to make it easier, that would be super.
