Default Mystery TPS from Medbury Gardens

I got Medbury Gardens' "mystery" TPS in the mail Monday the 7 June, and I will probably sow them in December or January along with some of Durgan's and Tom Wagner's remaining.

Great to see they got there in the end,its fascinating the time differences sending seed around the world,for me seed to the US is quicker than sending to Australia which is only two hours by plane.

Tubers harvested in November will keep well enough for the few months before planting.
Last week I sowed two batches of TPS in a tray outside:
Medbury Mystery F2 12 July
Lump o' Gold x Tom Kaiglin F1 from Tom Wagner 17 July

I ought to have some TPS left from Medbury Gardens, but I don't know exactly where after my wife made some major cleaning of my desk. I certainly still have some of Tom Wagner's crosses, and the next sowing will be in December/January inside.

I hope they will sprout, and I may also find the remaining TPS and sow them later (for some reason sprouting seems to be most consistant when sowing in winter/early spring along with peppers and tomatoes, which require constant surveillance). Of course if everything else fails, I will beg you for new seeds next year, and I can send you my tomato list in a PM, and you can also get other seeds (eg. carrots or cucumbers) if it's legal.
