Old seeds from Carolyn

[Lotte]

I have sown all the old sorts from Carolyn, and is now waiting for it to germinate.But some have already done, maybe not the oldest.I can't any how find some them when I do a search at Google.I can find Jahodo and Dragoevo, but Ntan, Ceanra/Ceandra, Kami, Aana, Kudy Kinka Gora and Kia I can't find.Do any of you know what they are supposed to be?

Farmer Shawn posted pictures of Kami, Kia, Kudykinka Gora and Ntan. Did not see any other information though.

I will post them here for you.

Thank you so much.I got the seeds from FarmerShawn who got the seeds from Carolyn's brother when she passed away.But I have not seen these pictures, they are lovely, I'm so looking forward to the fruits.

[Lotte]

And more of the seeds has germinated:

Maki
Atjan
Cisch
Jaant
Tata

I have tried looking at the spreadsheets from Shawn, but can't find these names.And neither do a Google search help.But I'm happy to have them started, even though they are not the oldest seeds, think all of them are 2012.

Looking forward to see your descriptions and photos, Lotte!
I just googled "Kudykinka gora translate to english" and it returned "Kudykinka mountain" and identified the language as Croatian.
IDK if that is correct or not, but it would be nice to know where they came from... eventually some history might be learned.

Here is what google translate had to say about the others, FWIW. (I know it makes mistakes!)
Ntan - greek = Dan
Ceandra - romanian = Ceandra
Kami - indonesian = we
Aana - bangla = bring
Kia - vietnamese = that



Maki - japanese = roll
Atjan - sudanese = Atjan
Cisch - dutch = Cisch
Jaant - hindi = know
Tata - english = Tata

[Lotte]

Thank you Bower.Yes I'm also very anxious to see what the different ones will turn out to be.I finally found the right spreadsheets from Shawn, but there were no descriptions at these that germinated at me.So .... I'm just looking forward to the 'maters.

I see all of those listed in the spreadsheets I saved. There is no information though. Just the year (2012) and storage container type. Farmer Shawn shared photos of all of those as well.

Here are Farmer Shawns shared photos:

Thank you for showing the photos .When I choose the seeds I did not have any idea of what I was going to grow, so it was some jokers I took.But they all seem very good and not too big, just what I love to grow.

[Lotte]

And today a new one has germinated - Schmack.I'm happy that they do germinate, since they are not to do a research of by the normal procedure.I like to grow very interesting tomatoes that not all do, but hope I'll be able to exchenge 'my'seeds tp all of you who has interest in it via Shawn or Tormato, or just a normal trade.

[HL2601]

Sign me up for Schmack for sure Lotte. The name alone means I NEED TO GROW IT

[Lotte]

Of course Heide, hope I will be succesful with lots of tomatoes.Until now only one plant, small, has appeared, but one plant is what it takes, of course.

[MissS]

I am sure looking forward to hearing your reports on all of these varieties @Lotte. It is always fun to learn about old varieties that are unheard of today.

[Lotte]

Yes Patti, you are absolutely right.I love growing such things that aren't very common.And they look great the ones I have seen pictures of here.

[FarmerShawn]

My apologies for being slow to respond here, and for not giving more info on the small-fruited varieties Lotte is growing. Some of them are determinate, which I almost never grow. All were quite productive of nice looking small tomatoes. Unfortunately, all of them were sadly lacking in flavor in my garden. Maybe they will be better grown in another's garden. I suspect they might be useful as breeding stock, because of their vigor and productivity, but I don't do that. I just grow out accidental crosses.
Anyway, that was my impression.

[Lotte]

Thank you Shawn, I appreciate your answer.I know we are all busy right now.I must see what I think of the 'maters.I like, as you say, the smaller ones, and I did not know what I choose when I made my wishlist.But I was lucky.Now I have some of the really old seeds left to germinate, but I don't think I have that much luck there, I can only say, I did my best.

[Lotte]

Today another one has just emerged, also seeds from 2012.Pood is the name.It is always so exciting to see if anything has germinated after a long and good sleep.

[Lotte]

And today 2 more has emerged - Cartego Pear and Naeroh.I'm really astonished they keep coming.

[Lotte]

Still some are germinating, but very slow now, Eytra is the newest one emerging.

[Lotte]

Today Zorn has started too, I'm so happy they keep coming!!!
