And do...Eager to know -- How did Victor taste?? :)<br /><br />And does it really not need to be staked? It looks like yours was at least slightly staked in that photo, but maybe I'm matching the small stake to the wrong plant??Aaron Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15229176286446531945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-22594789167214780432011-06-19T21:24:31.665-04:002011-06-19T21:24:31.665-04:00Granny-

Haven't seen the original in years. <br /><br />I like some hybrids very much, but once they stop selling them your out of luck. I would give anything to be able to grow 'Spartan Valor' cucumbers again.<br /><br />If 'Victor' passes the taste test I'd be more than happey to send you some seeds.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433165045195052022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-34427699198233805432011-06-19T18:55:19.002-04:002011-06-19T18:55:19.002-04:00It's so frustrating when they stop selling see...It's so frustrating when they stop selling seeds to a variety that has been popular for years. I used to grow a small patio type tomato that was virtually problem free, and gave a big crop of the small salad tomatoes like your Victor. I can't even remember the name any more, but it stopped being available several years ago. <br /><br />I just remembered, it was "Pixie". There is a different one now, "Orange Pixie", but it looks like the old hybrid I want became extinct around 2003.<br /><br />I'm growing a really nice compact plant that would do well in your potager. It's called Coastal Pride Orange, from Mr. H. If it turns out to be a good performer, I'll send you some seeds. Last year I grew several dwarf varieties that were good flavored, compact plants.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
