All of the seeds above were grown in 2016. I have some more grown in 2014 and 2015 that could be added. I need to bag the peppers first and then I’ll look through our binders for the other ones.

AlittleSalt · September 14, 2016

I did get the pepper seeds bagged and labeled. It took me hours to get it done.

I separated the tomato seeds I have saved from 2014 and 2015 and can write a list of those. These will be sent in to the MMMM in 10 bags of 5-12 seeds each:

Ambrosia Red
Amethyst Cream
Amish Gold
Dancing with Smurfs
Esmeralda Golosina
Golden Jubilee (Might be 10 bags of only 5 or 6 seeds per bag)
Helsing ★★★★★★★★ Blue
Matt's Wild Cherry
Medovaya Kaplya (Might be 10 bags of only 5 or 6 seeds per bag)
Large Red Cherry (Might be 10 bags of only 5 or 6 seeds per bag)
Oranje Van Goeijenbier (Might be 10 bags of only 5 or 6 seeds per bag)
Peacevine (Might be 10 bags of only 5 or 6 seeds per bag)
Pink Ping Pong
Pinky Blast (Might be 10 bags of only 5 or 6 seeds per bag)
Porter's Pride
Russian Mini Yellow
Snow White
Spike
Yellow Riesentraube

I simply have too many tomato seeds to possibly grow. There will be a lot of bags of seeds that I got from the MMMM and from some swaps. I will be very careful not to send in others' F2s and special ones to them. They will be varieties like Black Plum and Homestead - ones we have all heard of.

I also want to send in some that Worth bought back in 2007. He gave them to me. I'll clearly mark 2007 on the bags. Yes they still germinate. Seven of the pepper varieties I grew and saved seeds from in the Pepper section above grew and produced from seeds bought in 2007. Tomato seeds from the same year have next to 100% germination rate. Soak them in a solution of a pinch of MG in a cup of water for an hour or so. Plant the ones that sink. It's that simple.

Tormato, it looks like I'll be using one of those flat rate envelopes after all.

Starlight · September 15, 2016

Salt.... The post office carries a priority, flat rate bubble envelope. Think it is 6 bucks, or was, and you get a tracking number. Those po bubblers will hold just a little over 500 packets of seeds.

The small , little priority box, think it $5 will hold about 150 packets of seeds.

AlittleSalt · September 15, 2016

Star, I ordered the $6 ones. They come in packs of 10. You can order them from https://store.usps.com/store/browse/...ctId=P_EP_14_F They're mailed to you for free.

I just counted and I still have 140 more bags to get ready to mail in.

Cole_Robbie · September 15, 2016

I sent some seeds to a non-t'viller last spring in a regular envelope with one first-class stamp on it, and the post-office got me with a "your envelope is too fat" fee, and delivered it to the guy with $2.50 'postage due.' (D'oh)

I have some of those too. Used them when I ran out of the bubblers the one time. I like the bubblers because if it raining or snowing the insides stay dry and have had the flat rate envelope arriving ripped sometimes when you stuffing it too much.

Poor guy. Your not going to have any hands left with all that labeling.

Them folks sure want their postage. I couldn't believe it when I got a notice in the mail that the seeds I was receiving needed 2 more cents postage due.

Does anybody happen to want any Dwarf Sungold Sunflower seeds. If so I'll package some up and send them in?

Tormato · September 15, 2016

A first class envelope must be under 1/4" thick and be "bendable" to go through the sorting machines.
(I've pushed the 1/4" to its limits)

September 20, 2016

Changing my column in the spreadsheet to reflect the death of my Costoluto Genovese & Uluru Ochre before I got any mature fruits. On the bright side, I will be replacing one of them with ten packs of Polish Pastel, a lovely bicolor paste!
