It is described as 80 days, Reg leaf, indet., regular leaf, red round fruit, slightly oblate, growing in clusters of 4-5, very good flavor., regular leaf plant with very high yield of 4-8 oz red fruit, very good flavor. Seeds trace to the tomato-history expert Andy Smith, whose son brought it from Bulgaria.

Thank you so much for the info!!!!!!

I had a few that, after searching online, I'm still unsure about. I am posting them here hoping for some info on each of them. I so appreciate the seeds and any info anyone can share on these varieties.

Bacon, Lettuce, and This
Swoon
Belgium #7
Could Belgium Triumph be Bulgarian Triumph?
Rose Aragon
Peiping Chich? (It's difficult to read, so I may have spelled the last word incorrectly)

THANK YOU!

That last one is actually Peiping Chieh.

Bacon Lettuce and This - My release of a selection from a natural cross of Granny's Heart. Ind, PL, red, beefsteak, great flavor (in my garden).

Swoon - Another one of my releases, again from a selection from a natural cross of Granny's Heart. Ind, PL, pink, heart, superb flavor (in my garden).

I suspected with the name that Bacon, Lettuce and This might be yours

You have a gift for great names

THANK YOU for the tomato seeds and the info!!!!!

An envelope is labeled Mermaid '20 F1?

Google found two different tomatoes called Mermaid, neither one a hybrid: a large bicolor and a dwarf pink heart. Is it one of these, or something different?

The donor rarely puts a date on seeds, or states whether varieties are OP or hybrid, and sometimes sends in some hybrids. My belief is that it may be a dwarf since they collect dwarf varieties. I will eventually find out, when I contact them.

Did anyone ask about Big Marley yet? I'm assuming it isn't a cherry... but who knows.

I apologize in advance, I know that this thread is intended for some other communication. But I wonder if the offer of elephant garlic seeds has ever appeared in MMMM. Thank you.

A search for Steve and Jeanne Marley will get you there.

Marzano Fire is OP. As is generally the case, it is hybrids that are specifically designated F1, OP are generally not designated or noted to be open pollinated just the name is used.

Do you mean seed cloves? Anyway, no elephant garlic has ever come into the swap, be it bulbs or true seed.

I do have true seed of "Diverse Shallots", if you're interested.

Thank you Tormato. I just wanted the elephant garlic. I expect to attend MMMM this year, if it will.

I wouldn't waste time on searching for that bean, yet. Pray for a miracle, first, that it germinates.

The first variety can be found in the spoiler alert lists (if it's my label, it looks like I butchered the spelling).

If it does grow, and grows big...don't climb it without checking out its provenance first....
