Seeds from Gatersleben

[klorentz]

Ok folks lets try this again. Posted last night but it seemed to get lost in cyber space.

As some here know I requested seed from the seed bank in Gatersleben,Germany. Some maters and pumpkin.Most of these I have never seen listed anywhere . The only two maters I have seen listed that I have from Gatersleben is Cosmonaut Volkov and Zapotec. I am very excited about this as it is the first time I have done this.And the seed bank in Gatersleben was very nice and have asked my input on these varieties. Which means I am going to have to keep detailed notes on the progress of these seeds as they grow.

So here is my list. If you know about any of them let me know.


Tomatoes:

Victory

Russian Giant

Volgograd 5/25

Gribovski-Open Ground

Ukrainian Poet

Patriot

Katrina

Prize Winner

Shumway's Sensation

Gratifying

Torch

Venture

Argonaut

and two known varieties Cosmonaut Volkov and Zapotec

Pumpkin:

Mammoth Field ( c.pepo)

Mammoth ( c.maxima)

Dickinson (c.moschata . cheese pumpkin group)

Turner Family ( c.pepo)

That's it folks.

Kevin: I have grown the Zapotec, it was a few seasons back. I was very pleased with the results, great yield and a nice tasting tomato. I was given a few plants from a local Organic grower,and haven't been able to find them in any of the seed catalogs since. This is the first time I'm seeing them spoken about since.

If you don't mind I would like to be able to contact the seed bank you have mentioned for some of those seeds.
