Instead of putting all of the attributes of the particular tomato on each package and getting writer's cramp, wouldn't it be easier to reference that variety with a link that one can reference from Tania's website???

AlittleSalt · July 28, 2016

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. All I'm putting on the packs is name and year saved.

It hurts my hand hold a pen due to a nerve disease in my hands. But I'm stubborn and handwrite them anyway. Then there are the long ones that I really wanted to abbreviate - like JL's Pink Egg

Salt... You poor thing. I know you have to be in pain. What about using word document and make label on puter and you can put lots of varieties on one page and then either print out say ten pages of that document if you have that many packs going in or you can print out one copy and go to printing place and have them make you some copies.

Or if it helps you, pm what you sending in and description and I'll make you tags and mail to you. Then you can just put in your baggy. Be glad to do it if it will help your hands.

YES! I will be sending in GGWT. I saved a poo-pile of seeds.

AlittleSalt · July 28, 2016

Thank you Star. We have a printer and MS Office. I used to write/print a lot. I still write out the labels because I'm stubborn and want to prove to myself that I still can. I wish they looked better, but others can read them - so I'm doing okay.

Oh, and LOL @ "I saved a poo-pile of seeds."

I did that with WOW and Texas Wild Cherry seeds this year too.

I also plan to send in GGWT. Many fruits on my plant. Just waiting for them to grow bigger and ripen.

Cuor di Bue

My top heirloom producer in a very hot summer. Few were juicy with lots of seeds, most extra meaty with few seeds. Very good flavor.

More to follow, seed harvesting has begun...

WOW is both sweet tasting and grows an interesting tall plant.

I often think of a typical INDET. tomato plant as a bushy plant if left to grow without a lot of pruning, but my results from WOW were much different. It grows in a more vining type way. To me, growing it on a trellis at least 7'+ tall would be perfect for WOW without a lot of pruning. Another thing I like about it is that it's not one or two stems that grow like this - but many. It was a top 3 in our RKN infested garden for sure.

I'm hoping they grow that way for others. That's why I'm sending in 20 packs to the MMMM.

I should have added that with the vines - it is very easy to tie them off wherever you want them to grow. I think there are a lot of possibilities with this one.

This is one of the ones still holding on in my high heat, high humidity, little-to-no rain season this year.

I had a problem with a racoon so I lost my GGWT (and coyote, and a few others), however I gave one to my parents so hopefully I can get some fruit from them (unless a deer ate their plant).

Plants that made it through the raccoon disaster and have started setting fruit (underline are already coloring or ripe but I haven't fermented/counted/packaged yet):
Ambrosia Gold*
Amethyst Jewel*
Aura*
Blush- Striped*
Dwarf Arctic Rose*
Dwarf Sweet Sue*
Hundreds & Thousands*
Kiss the Sky*
Pit Viper*
Sophie’s Choice*
Stupice*
Uluru Ochre*

Peppers:
Korean Long green*
Bolivian rainbow*

There should be more later, but I am not counting on them yet as anything could happen. (actually things could happen to these, but they are close).

Save
