Anyone ever order from tomatsiden Micheal Anderson? How much does a kroner equal in US cash? According to Yahoo Currency Converter, today one Kroner equals $0.1384. Welcome to TTG bammer!

wanted to know how much US cash to send, I don't know the tranfer rate. I don't know if he accepts dollars. He takes Swedish crowns (of course) and Euro, but it may be harder for him to handle "odd" currencies than here. BTW, the exchange rate is about 7.25 (SEK for one USD), and it doesn't change a lot.

Bammer, If you need some help ordering from Michael Anderson let me know. I've ordered from Michael in the past. Ami

Thanks darthslater, You sent me to the right place for the monster. Now I've got to get seeds lined up. Thanks again, great site. buck7762 another 5a Speaking of pink, here is the latest in my Flathead row, all my Flatheads are either pink or orange, but I am not complaining these are the tastiest orange tomatoes I have ever eaten, and the pink is no slouch either!!! Here is the latest Flathead monster orange, a whopping 3 pounder!!!

Welcome to the best tomato site online!! It seems that a post of mine about FM at IDigMyGarden www.idigmygarden.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37760 stirred quite some discussion. If the only thing outstanding is the whereabouts of Dorothy Biesweiger, who actually lives in Minnesota, but named this tomato for a river and lake in Montana, where her grandparents used to live, there is no real disagreement.

Correct Gunnar, but it wasn't until that person PMed me with the additional description that I posted for this variety that was different from the one that you cited as also being from Spud, that things were resolved. And that's good. And her name has been misspelled quite a bit, it's Dorothy Beiswenger, and Spud's description that you posted had her living in MT when she actually lives in MN which led to the initial confusion. All is well. Carolyn

All is well. Carolyn Maybe Michael Anderson in fact got his initial seed from Dorothy B. when she was listing them in the SSE Yearbook, but then he should not sell them as "Black Potato Leaf", but rather go with "Flathead Monster", the name that she listed. German names generally don't cause a lot of trouble, but if you insist on correct spelling they may be a pain.

Gunnar, I looked in quite a few back SSE YEarbooks and I don't think Dorothy ever listed Flathead Monster in a Yearbook. I then checked Tania's site and she doesn't even have it listed. I just looked at Michael Anderson's site and all he says is that what he calls Black Potato Leaf was found amongst some RL Black Krims and it appears to be another PL variant of Black Krim and probably not the same as Flathead Monster or I trhink he might have indicated the source. What do others of you think about equating his Black Potato LEaf with Flathead Monster? Carolyn

I don't have a hard copy of the SSE yearbooks, but online, in the "Yearbook History" it looks like Dorothy listed it in 2005 and 2009. She described it as: 2009: midseason, from seed saver who found this on a plant that also had Pruden's Purple tomatoes on it, has been true to the large yellow flat tasty tomato.Rich

I don't do the Online Version but in many cases I know it's easier to search for the history of a single variety, but I still stick with my paper copies. My error was only looking in the Other Color sections b/c I thought coming from Black Krim it would be similar to that color. And I'd also read that folks were getting different colored fruits from it. So if it's true to form it should be orange and flat which means what Michael Anderson is offering as Black Potato Leaf from Black Krim with a very different fruit shown is not Flathead Monster. And seeing her two listings, which are the same, and her only mention of Prudens Purple, and it sounds as though it was a single fruit on a Prudens Purple plant, the others being PP, that sounds like a somatic mutation to me leads to the next question. And the next question is, where does Black Krim come into the picture as has been noted in other descriptions of Flathead Monster if all Dorothy mentioned was Prudens Purple? Carolyn

There was a post on another site from about a week ago that referenced this very TTG thread: Some time ago Spudleafwillie posted this information: Flathead monster is a PL variant of black Krim found by Dorothy Biesweiger of MT and named after the flathead river in montana...
I can't find that specific quote in this thread, so I bet the mention of Black Krim was just a mistaken recollection of a black...errrrr....dark tomato (i.e. PP).

Rich, what you're quoting is from the thread started at idig by Gunnar who posted that information as coming from Spud, that is, the origin being from Black Krim. Carolyn
