I know some people are searching for seeds so they can participate.
I did a seed offer over at the other forum of Nikitovka seeds from an order I placed in 2018. Nikitovka is based in Ukraine.
Seeds should still be viable and I will go to locate them.
Here were the varieties. Some are clearly marked from Ukraine. Others, such as the de Baraos may be Russian. Perhaps Andrey will comment.
Anyone who wants to grow for the tribute can choose 1, just PM me.

, package what you can, and I will send out what comes in. It's also nice to offer these seeds to the rest of our forum community and especially newbies to encourage greater growth and awareness of the varieties. So if you put in extra, they will be sure to go to someone who will appreciate them.
