2016 Seed Swap

ajax · October 26, 2016

Hi! We are starting our annual secret tomato seed swap. You send in 10 varieties, 5 packs of each, and you get back 50+ individual varieties. If you are interested, please email me at saylor713@gmail.com and I will send you the full guidelines

Sounds good.
But what if one does not have that many varieties and that much seeds AND does not needs that much either ( 10 x 5 x 10 = 500 seeds ?).
Example : I might be able to manage 5 varieties ( 5 x 5 x10 =250 seeds) and need just one pack of each ( 5 x 10 seed = 50 seeds) ?? So in effect I send in 5 times more than what I expect to receive.
I don't need / want more than 5 variety ( one pack of each )
JUST A QUESTION.

Ahh, I see the seed collection bug has not hit you yet

Yes, that would be fine. I can donate the rest of your seeds to Wintersown or someone who needs them.

FYI, I have over 1000 varieties

That bug bit me hard!

I'm sure the lack of response is just timing with the MMMM swap coming to a close.

Marsha does her SASE starting in late January and has an enormous response.

I have gotten a few emails from people wanting to join. This is the 10th or 11th year of doing this swap, so we have a lot of "regulars", but it's always nice to get new people as well

Yes, the MMMM sounds like quite a swap, I think I'll try it next time. Be nice to be the swapper and not the organizer for a change

Thank you for the reply, that was very thoughtful!

Ajax,

With over 1,000 varieties, I'm hoping you will join the MMMM this year.

You may be able to fill a few requests for varieties on peoples wish lists that no one else has seed for.
