I've been fermenting up a storm as my tomatoes ripen. For sure I will be sending:
Honeydrop Blue Sky GGWT Nature's Riddle Shirley S. Helsing ★★★★★★★★ Blues Blush Still growing but with plenty of fruits on the vine so they should be included barring incident: Kiss the Sky Wild Fred Iditarod Mom's Heart Giant Belgium Mama Alla Raspberry Giant and then to keep some mystery alive, there are others that will be included in my envelope, but I'm not ready to commit by name just yet |

Ok I'm planning to send stuff in. But I don't want to overlap too much with others, so I made a spreadsheet. As of today, it appears there are 250 varieties in this swap, supplied by 14 people (each person has a column).
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...97SCBI/pubhtml The numbers indicate sets of bags with 10 seeds each. Tormato's list had mentioned 50 seeds, so I'm assuming 5 bags of 10 seeds each. Everything in the main tomato section is sorted alphabetically. After row 256 (assuming no more vars get added), it's the unnamed tomatoes stuff, and other veggies are listed below that. The ? in the cells are because I didn't see people post the number of baggies being sent in for a specific var, and the * is like what Tormato indicated, planning to send seeds, not prepared yet. I'm not sure what category most of these vars belong to, as it would take too long to double check everything in tomatobase, and also figure out which category its restricted to being in the MMMM. Maybe other people can figure fill in those blanks. This doc might make it easier to check if a specific wishlist item can be fulfilled. |

I'm glad I'm not the only spreadsheet junkie. I'll fill my column in on the spreadsheet when I post on the spoiler thread. I'm 2/3 done with stuffing seed packs from ~17 varieties.

Apologies, not sure how I missed that one. I'll update with your info and make the spreadsheet editable in a few hours.

Or perhaps Tormato wants to do the filling / posting somewhere once seeds begin to pour in?
It might be useful to see what wish list varieties still need to be sent in and what has already arrived, that way people can dig into their seed collections and look for those desired varieties |

Added to spreadsheet. Quote:
Editable Spreadsheet link. The only tomatoes tomato types I've clearly identified like cherry, DTP (dwarf tomato project), were those in Tormato's posts since he kind of set the categories up. It'd really take way too long to double check which categories the other types should go into, so I'm leaving the "type"/category blank for others to fill out or Tormato to designate. List is up to 271 vars, with +2 unnamed + 17 peppers +1 tomatillo. That was way more data entry than I had originally planned. You guys can keep the list updated with what you send in/plan to send in. Again to clarify, this is the number of packets being sent in (assuming each packet has ~10 seeds). ? is for unknown number of packets being sent in, because post wasn't explicit with a number, and * are for those planning to send in but no seeds set aside yet. The dwarf tomato project stuff is all prefixed with a Dwarf in front even though some of those vars aren't called "Dwarf [something something]", like Tasmanian Chocolate. It was just easier to keep track of the DTPs alphabetically this way (imo). Hope I didn't mess anything up when I data sorted, but everyone should be able to double check on their own.

Thanks for posting my selections. Will be adding 5-7 more possibly as many as 10. I also have one pepper plant that has a nice inventory of "Charleston" pepper. Developed by Clemson about 10 years ago. Alot of heat. Will try to save some seed to submit...

"The numbers indicate sets of bags with 10 seeds each. Tormato's list had mentioned 50 seeds, so I'm assuming 5 bags of 10 seeds each. "
Tormato said 50 seeds as in 10 baggies with 5 seeds in each; 5 being minimum number for each baggy of tomato seeds.
