I will sponsor cmwsquirrl and upcountrygirl for tomatoes and peppers.

Here are no spoilers pictures of seeds I'm sending in. It's not all of them. the pepper seeds are not ready to bag yet.

3.) If # 2 is not an option could someone sponsor me, please?

beasl004 I would be very interested in the German Queen tomato seeds. I wanted to grow some this year and couldn't find any for sale in the garden centers or farm supply stores around here.

Starlight, I enjoy many different kinds of lettuce. I've been wanting to try some Chinese cabbage varieties to see how they do here....
1.) The swap is whatever you'd like it to be. Participants decide, not the host.

Generally, there are those that do only tomatoes, those that do tomatoes and peppers, those that do tomatoes, peppers and beans (all legumes), and those that do only beans (of which there is a separate swap for that).

Odds and ends come in too, like flowers and other veggie and fruit seed.

I would like to join the swap . I wasn't planning to this year but you all make it look so fun.
I have a couple of questions.
Does it have to be 10 of the same kind ie 10 pk of red cherry or can you send in 1of 10 different varieties that fit in the cherry category ?
I ordered some new to me tomatoes and would probably have enough extra for 1 pk. of each.
I will not have very many to enter the swap so if I need a sponsor could someone help me?
Thanks
Susan

I'm again posting the link to where you may post your tomato/pepper wish lists...

http://www.tomatoville.com/showpost....&postcount=203

I'm thinking it might be best to have a list of all participants (post your Tomatoville user name) below the lists of tomatoes and peppers. It will give me an indication of how large the swap may be.

Susan... I'll sponsor you . I have oodles and oodles of seed for the cherry category.

Upcountrygirl... I'll send some Chinese veggies in. Just make sure you include on your wish list to Tormato that you want some.

On non-tomato/pepper seeds, I'd like to see a minimum of 5 packs of a variety (if possible).

Finding/sorting/packing a single pack of 5 different radishes is much harder than 5 packs of a single variety. And, if 5 people want that single pack...

I'm growing out a lot of diff tomatoes and plan to participate as well. Tormato mentioned things don't pick up until October so it looks like I have some time. I'm just starting seed collection as we get ripe 'matos.

I put out a few Rezha hot pepper from Bakers that I may share if it grows fast enough, but a bit unsure since I put them out a bit late.

Is this the master list of what's being shared so far? I'm a bit confused, since many things listed in the spoilers thread aren't there.

The wishlist is where people list what they would like(the 10 varieties or whatever). The spoilers thread is where people list what they are sending in.

Hope that helps

I just started a list for names at the bottom of the Google doc. Spread the word!
