Tomato seeds for SASE or trade

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

I still have two true to type tomato varieties, and a tomato seed mix available.

  1. Cosmonaut Volkov Medium Sized, Red, Round Historical Tomato 20 Seeds - Homegrown & Harvested 2016

This tomato, was developed in the Ukraine, in the 1960s.

It was named by a Russian cosmonaut, (who took up gardening after retiring from the space program), who picked the most exceptional tomato he was growing, and named it after his friend, also a Russian cosmonaut, who was killed upon reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.

The plant is classified as an indeterminate variety, but reaches only 5′ in height and is quite manageable, with a sturdy structure to lean on.

The fairly uniform in size, crack resistant, fruits are a vibrant red, slightly flattened globe shape, 3″-6″ in diameter and about 8 oz in volume.

These are a great all purpose tomato, for slicing, dicing, pureeing, cooking, or eating fresh.etc,

These seeds, were grown veganically, vegan (no animal products, and organic (not certified) no chemicals of any kind, and no GMO seed.

  1. Rose De Berne Tomato Pink Round Heirloom 2nd Tomato Harvest of this year - Homegrown - 20 seeds

Rose De Berne Aka Rose of Berne, is a Pink tomato, supposedly named after a French apple variety imported from Switzerland.

It's form, is pretty reliably, a round shape, around 8 oz.

The 1st photo, shows the Rose De Berne color with a red Cosmonaut Volkov on them, for color comparison, and also in the next to last photo, which shows the fruit from one plant.

The plant had a few more tomatoes, then pictured, but I picked them before these, and already diced, and seeded them out. Seeds to the smallest ripe tomatoes, were not kept.

The plant is over 4 ft tall, and vigorously wants to keep growing, so a strong support is needed.

It is fabulous for slicing for sandwiches, dicing, stewing, pureeing, and is a good all purpose tomato.

  1. 20 "Grow it Forward" Tomato Seeds Seed MIX

This is a seed mix I made, from all the green tomatoes I had to rescue before the frost got them, that I brought inside & left laying around.

They actually ripened!

So I seeded them all out, according to which ones were ripe at the same time.

The mix, is mostly Rose De Berne, Cosmonaut Volkov, maybe a few African Togos, possibly some yellow ones, maybe some red cherry & a very slim possibility of a Ananas Noire aka Black Pineapple, Sweet Solano & Angora Orange.

THERE'S NO GUARANTEE, THAT YOU'LL ABSOLUTELY GET ALL THE TYPES MENTIONED ABOVE, OR BELOW, BUT SOME OF THEM MIGHT APPEAR IN A GROW OUT OF THIS MIX.

If the fruit is a...

Med, PINK round, it's a Rose De Berne

Med, RED , round, it's a Cosmonaut Volkov

Small, red, cherry, it's from an unknown volunteer plant.

Small, pink fruit on a dwarf plant, it's an African Togo

med to large, round to beefsteak, mottled, or green on top, red on the bottom, it's a Black Pineapple.

Yellow, it's from an unknown volunteer.

Med, striped, it's a Sweet Solano.

Greyish green, fuzzy plant, med, orange fruit, it's an Angora Orange.

If you like what fruit you get, save seeds.

The more seed savers, & sharers of heirloom / open pollinated seeds, the more diversity, fresh, local produce, & food security in the world.

I named the mix "Grow it Forward" because the mix has the capacity, to produce a lot of interesting tomatoes, to feed the hungry as give away fruit, as in, share the bounty.

These are grown veganically.

Vegan = no animal products, including commercial manures

Organic (not certified) = no chemicals of any kind.

I start from seed, pot up, transplant, tend, water, harvest, dice, deseed, cure the seeds, count them out, & package them all by myself.

IF YOU'D LIKE ANY OF THESE, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PRIVATE MESSAGING IS SET UP, SO I CAN BE ABLE TO CONTACT YOU.
