2015 Mostly Mystery 'Mater Mailing

Tormato · August 28, 2015

The swap is now open for joining.

Next week I'll post about deadlines, packaging and postage, the three main parts of the swap (wish lists, mystery categories, bonuses).

For now, just an outline for the categories...

Beefsteak

Black

Blue

Cherry/Grape/Currant

*Cool Weather

Determinate/Dwarf (mostly "Dwarf Project")/Micro Dwarf - I may split this into three different categories

Eastern European

Experimental

*Giant (2 lb +)

Green

Heart

Hot Weather

Italian

Knock-Your-Socks-Off

*Novelty

Paste/Canner

Pink

Red

Striped

Very Early (55 DTM or less)

Yellow/Gold/Orange/Bi-color/Tri-color/White

I'm not sure if I'm missing any categories from last year.

*Cool Weather, *Giant, and *Novelty are three categories that could use 10 people, each with a different variety, to happen fully.

Any suggestions for new categories are welcome.

I usually have at least one theme in my garden every year. So, I'm thinking of something like a "Doctors" category, any variety with Doctor in the name.

And, I'd really like to have a "Bratka's" category one of these years, of all varieties introduced by Joe Bratka.

Another would be an "Oldies But Goodies" category, as there are many varieties that were popular decades ago, even up to about 10 years ago, but are rarely talked about today.
