Bean, pea, legume (& tomato) swap - Page 11

Tormato · February 18, 2016

I just received an email saying a package was sent,

tomato 202
pepper 266
bean 148

If that's the number of packs, either I hold them 'til November, or I start that seed train in a bit.

Going out today...

Thank you Gary, I will be more than happy with anything you sent, lentils are easy to get at whole foods.

I have the 3 tiered sprouter from Johnny Seeds, works great and so easy, but there are always risks involved because of the bacteria that is on the seed even when you wash the seed first.

Thank you, thank you! I have been very calm, but now that I know it's on its way, I am dying with anticipation.

Gary!!!!!! *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* Mail just came and my lovely bulging pack from you has arrived! I'm just about to dig in, but I wanted to come thank you first. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your wonderful seeds!

And a huge thank you to everyone else who participated in both the bean and tomato swaps. It's always a joy to discover new varieties.

WOW!! I'm stunned. What a spectacular huge package of beans! I saw it in the mailbox as I was leaving this afternoon and had to wait hours to get home and open it. Thank you everyone, and thank you Gary for sharing and sorting and repacking and enabling.

Yay, that's me! I had an argument with dh today about beans. Last year I grew 400' and I felt like that was a bit more than I needed. I virtuously told him I was going to cut back to 300' this year. I thought he'd be happy he only has to set poles up for 300'. He had the nerve to grumble about it! He thinks 200' of beans is more than enough. As if.
