New here and trying to find Nonna’s Love

Hello, this is my first time here. I have been gardening for basically my whole life and usually around this time of year I get the kick to start planning my summer garden by finding new varieties. I remembered a post today from last year by the World Tomato Society on instagram where they talked about a tomato called Nonna’s Love. I went on a huge internet deep dive trying to find out what it was called again, and was thankfully able to find it on the internet archive, since apparently I found out the World Tomato Society closed down. I am still however unable to find anywhere where this variety is sold. Does anyone here have these seeds and would be willing to trade with me or sell them to me? Thanks!

@ZachLosko Welcome to the Junction! I have moved your post to the seeds wanted forum to keep the board organized. I'm glad to see you jumping right in and using the forum!

This tomato sounds familar to me but I'm sorry to say that I don't have seeds for it. I'm thinking that I may have seen it on a European site. If I find it, I will let you know.

I don't know if it's been released yet. There was a small discussion about it on the Facebook group last summer and it was mentioned that the breeder was going back to an earlier generation to improve the variegation. So that would set it's release back.

Welcome to Tomato Junction! Lots of new and different varieties to discover here. :)

thank you so much for the info. I unfortunately do not have facebook, but do have instagram and I think i found her account. If you could let her know that my account is eatingclaycreations (it's my pottery acc) and to add me back since her account is private that would be great. Thank you so much again
