Remy,
Thanks for posting that link. I don't do Facebook, so I would have never known. Too bad I didn't know earliler in the year - I would have taken more photos! I grew some pretty nice things from you this year!

Native, If you've got a nice photo, send it to me at SampleSeeds@yahoo.com by Labor Day. I've amazingly enough only have 9 contestants so far.

Ok, it is that time of year again. The tomato pages are done. If you find any mistakes, please let me know. After working on them for a couple days, my head is ready to explode. Thank you!

Would that be concentric or longitudinal exploding? Would that expose flesh or flesh and gel? What color is your gel? Is your epidermis yellow, clear or striped? How many locules do you have?

I can't get any list of tomato seeds to come up for me. I just get a photo.

Baizanator · November 14, 2012

Ordered. Thanks Remy.

remy · November 14, 2012

Tam,
Not sure what is wrong, I checked, and it is working fine here.
Try going to http://www.sampleseeds.com/ and see what happens.

Delltraveller,

too funny. Not sure about all the answers, but if I were a tomato I think I would have striped skin. I'm much too odd for one color

.

Baizanator,
Got it Thanks!
Remy

RayR · November 14, 2012

Well, I placed my order, just have to try that Giant Pear Gransasso Strain, of course I had to give into temptation and try many others too.

Heritage · November 14, 2012

Great job, Remy!

I love your personalized and honest descriptions - it is not easy to express a passion for growing tomatoes as well as you do.

You will have a busy year!

Ah, I figured out the problem. I have high resolution monitor, so I increase the 'magnification' on internet explorer - display pages at 200% so I can see them. Your website is ok up to 150%, but when I go to 200%, the text/photo box with all the varieties disappears. So I have to view it with the text box maybe 1/3 of the screen.

ScottinAtlanta · November 14, 2012

Just out of curiosity, how does the mix sell? I wonder what it would be like to just plant seedlings without any idea of what tomato will emerge?

Heirloom Mix tomMix.
Want a lot of seeds and don’t mind if you don’t know the cultivar names? Then this is for you. All stray seeds and seed mishaps end up in this mix so it is full of great varieties. It is not a dumping ground for poor sellers as some may think. I can’t promise you’ll be able to figure out what tomatoes you’ll end up with, but I do promise you’ll end up loving the tomatoes anyway. 100+ seeds.

remy · November 14, 2012

Ray,
I though it was unusual to get an order from out your way as soon as I posted

.

Tam,
Glad you figured it out!

Steve,
Thanks! People that know me say they can hear me when they read the site. So I'm glad that comes through to customers.

Scott,
You would be surprised! I do sell lots of these. I get a lot of happy feedback from customers about it. Some people do it for fun. I think some people do it to have inexpensive seedlings to share with others. My personal idea was if you have a roadside stand, you could have a nice mix to sell since most customers just want tomatoes and don't care what variety they are.

tam91 · November 15, 2012

Thanks Remy. The thing is - your site really shouldn't do that, it's probably an error. I have no similar trouble with any other website. Not a problem for me, now that I know what to do, but I hope none of your other potential customers are having similar problems.

salix · November 15, 2012

Quick question, Remy. Is there a limit for your order list? I keep losing 'page 1' after about 10 or so items. Should I just send in multiple orders?
