Thanks mumofstig, for the kind offer, I will try to check somehow if it can even be possible to have a few seeds disguised in a Christmas card or other, and sent direct to Russia. But failing that, I will ask my Russian friend of Polish descent, to come through with what he offered me a while back, namely that of using his connections in Poland if I should require post sent. You've cheered me up, it would be interesting to try one of the tomato that has good taste reviews etc. Good quality seed is a major dilemma for home growers here, the Russians are not on the ball for things like this.
