   About 8 years ago I bought a bunch of Ukrainian heirloom tomatos.   
      
   Malinoviy Dzin   
   Amurskiy Tigr   
   Sibirskiy Malakhit   
   Balkonnoye Chudo   
   Damskiy Ugodnik   
   Sibirskiy Kozyr   
   Graffiti Krasnyy   
   Kolumbiya   
      
   Initially I had a lot of success. I threw rotten tomatos in the   
   compost and tomatos grew like weeds and I save the seeds. I grow   
   what I call 'overwinter tomatos'. I plant tomatos in pots in August   
   and leave them on the window sill all winter. It's too cold in my   
   house to grow seedlings in the spring. The plants don't really grow in the   
   winter but they survive. Until the blight hit, I had tomatos.
