I've received the Cottage Garden Society's Seed list and I'm trying to decide which tomato seeds to ask for. If you've grown any of them I'd appreciate your opinion.
A goggle description of this one amuses me :-
Khokhloma tomatoes belong to a non-hybrid mid-season variety that ripens 4 months after the seedlings rise. An indeterminate tall plant has a main stem, the height of which reaches 2 m. Therefore, in the process of growing, it is necessary to carry out a garter and carry out the formation of a bush, providing for the removal of stepchildren. To ensure high yields, bushes should have no more than two stems.
Or there's Blondkopchen, Blondkopfchen means little blond girl in German. It is a heavy producer an self seeds every year. We do not recommend growing this in your garden plot due to many tomatoes that drop and spread seed everywhere! They have a sweet taste with a low acid flavor.
Konigsberg - Seedlings Kenisberg are distinguished by some lethargy, lifelessness. Do not be upset in advance, this is a normal process characteristic of this variety.
Primavera - The improved tolerance to blight and root rot makes the outdoor tomato 'Primavera' a suitable variety for unprotected cultivation. With a fruit weight of approx. 25 g, this variety belongs to the cherry tomatoes. The orange skin of the tomato variety 'Primavera' is resistant to bursting. In addition to the good health of the plant, this early ripening tomato is characterised by its very good, juicy taste.
Syrian Stuffer - SYRIAN STUFFER – This tomato is from Future Seeds of Aleppo, which I was able to buy when in Syria in 2011. The packet shows a fairly ordinary looking regular tomato, but what I have grown is very different. A semi-determinate variety producing many clusters of thin-skinned richly aromatic fruit the size of a small grapefruit or large orange. Very nice sliced in a salad but even better when stuffed. This is the first year I have grown this cultivar and so I am not sure if it is a hybrid so cannot guarantee that saved seed will come true. Take a chance!
..........and one I will try to obtain - Jen's Tangerine - to share with JJB. Real seeds say - This is a fantastic tomato we're really pleased to offer. It was actually found by Ben in his salad while on holiday with friends in France, and it was so good he knew straight away that we had to add it to the catalogue. It had been grown by a neighbour who we also knew, and we arranged to have some of her polytunnel devoted to seed production for us.
Other toms are on offer but these leapt out at me!

It is a brilliant orange, with a great balance of sweet and acid, and is quite large for a cherry tomato - about one and a half inches across. The vines grow to a decent height and produce lots of fruit over a really long season.
This variety has been selected over the years by Jen Boncyk, a market gardener high in the mountains, so it is used to cold nights and short seasons. The seed we have here has been grown for us by Jen herself. Enjoy!
Tasty orange large-cherry tomato, good long fruiting season.Other toms are on offer but these leapt out at me!
