I'll have a look at the local Agway, farm supply, and see what they have. I'm not sure if they'll have the yellow one though but I am sure they'll have seedless.

Awsum, what if you ordered them from eBay, the exact ones Trit wants, and after they arrive at your house, then you can mail them to him. The only reason he's not ordering from eBay is that they won't ship to Greece.

Maybe, MAYBE, seeds would be OK, but to be honest I haven't even started seedlings yet this year. I can't seem to get motivated. Maybe I will after I visit Agway. I do want to get some traditional cauliflower, broccoli and carrot seeds. I'm sticking to stuff that we can freeze and use. We can take a bath in tomato sauce, already, so just one or two tomato plants for salads and sandwiches this year.

We plant the classic stuff too. This year we will have 20 different tomatoes and many other.

Maybe zebra or white tomatos? The black russian tomato is nice too.

I think you can plant romanesco in May too and then August foe fall crop.

I got tiger melon seeds from Armenia (tiger melon is has it's origins there), Paid 10 euros for 9 seeds lol.

We've tried "odd" style tomatoes, but our real favorite is the "Ugly Tomato". It's red and has deep grooves in the surface, is on the large size as in 1lb and up each and has low seed/jelly and lots of meat. The flavor is excellent as well. It's an "heirloom" variety, no cross breeding. The plants are fairly productive as well so it's a good one for the garden.

Yes i know what you mean, we have those here.

There is a variety named after the city i live in. It's the most common here since it's local. (Thessaloniki Tomato)

An Heirloom variety, originating from Greece producing large heavy leafed plants excellent for protecting fruit in sunny positions. A very productive variety producing large red fruits 3-4” in diameter with a mild flavour that are resistant to cracking. The fruit has amazing colors as it matures turning from sunset hues to a deep red. Good resistance to disease and fungal infections. Fruits are extremely resistant to rotting, even when fully mature on the vine. Indeterminate. 80 days from germination.
I think you have in the states too now.

Those look like what they call here "tomatoes on the vine." From Awsum's description, I pictured a beefsteak tomato.

Same here awsum. They must be having trouble keeping their site clean. Only other place I've ever had to change my pw on was yahoo back when I used them.

Yahoo has been a nightmare of emails spam. I'm sorry I ever signed up . The local mini horse group said they used it. They used to but no one has posted on it in a couple of years. I should go in and try to delete my account there.
