2016 Mostly Mystery 'Mater Mailing

Eh... I was sure Tormato was joking. (I assume.) He's an ENABLER and no way he would refuse the opportunity to overwhelm an addict, esp our sweet Carrie.

Aw, you're so sweet! I definitely think I qualify as an addict, LOL! Also it must be contagious, because I think Abbi(my 8 year old) is, too. I guess it's my own fault, but with such yummy results at harvest time!

Abbi, an addict in the making maybe. You definitely bringing her up right. Wish more parents would teach kids how to grow their food. They may get away from gardening for a bit when they get a bit older, but those who are taught usually remember and come back to play in the dirt and grow again in later years.

I seen young children in seed swaps and also some selling seeds too and they as good as adults at it. I say good for them and will support them.

An 8yo who is not only interested in starting from seed, but also breeding? You probably will have about 50 enablers sponsors.

How about purple and brown tomatoes(namely Rosella Purple and Tasmanian Chocolate)? Which categories would they fit in?

You have a few choices that they would fit in: Beefsteak, Black, Dwarf Project or Determinate/Dwarf.

ALittleSalt.. thank you for the sponsorship! I'm sorry it's took me so long to say thanks. I've been very busy with work and family this past week. I hope to have time to work on the list this weekend. I may need help with posting it. It's the first time I've participated in a group swap like this. I'm alos participating in a group swap on FB for the first time this year where I will be helping with mailing materials and postage as my contribution. I so enjoyed reading about an 8 year olds enthusiasm for gardening and growing seeds. My papa turned this now country woman into a country girl with a love for what came from the earth even earlier than the age of 8. Many happy spring and summer days were spent following him in the garden. I even recall the 1 time I thought I was going to be in HUGE trouble because I turned over the tiller. I was too little and short to be tilling ground but I was determined to try. Papa taught me several lessons there. When I finally got the courage to go tell him I had done it he just laughed, came and set the tiller back upright, cranked it, and said, "well, are you going to till some more or are you done?" I tilled more. Bless all of you that are sponsoring the young lady!

Hey Imp, you said you don't want any white tomatoes. You know there is a variety called...





























































"Great White"

While many varieties fit into several categories, some categories take precedent over other categories. Because of the appeal for Dwarf Project tomatoes, all Dwarf Project tomatoes will stay in that category.

If there was a heart tomato that could be in any of the other categories, it likely would stay in the Heart category.

There are probably a few more examples I'll address in the future.

I had to go back several pages here on this thread, but when I wrote, "I will sponsor cmwsquirrl and upcountrygirl for tomatoes and peppers." I should have mentioned what categories of the tomato and pepper seeds I'm sending in that would qualify you for.

Your wish list has nothing to do with me sponsoring you. If anyone is confused on this part - it would be better for Tormato to explain.

What I am sponsoring you both for is the Categories list = you get around ten different varieties from any you choose or even all (if you want) of the categories below:

Pepper Categories:

Ornamental
Sweet = no heat
Hot

Tomato Categories:

Black When Ripe BWR
Blue When Ripe BWR
Cherry tomatoes
Green When Ripe GWR
Heat Tolerant tomatoes
Pink When Ripe PWR
Red When Ripe RWR
Striped tomatoes
Yellow/Gold/Orange/Bi-color/Tri-color/White Category

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to help you.

I thought that orange, yellow, and white were all collapsed into one category "Yellow/Gold/Orange/Bi-color/Tri-color/White ." Am I wrong? If so, I'll need to reconfigure my groupings.

[AlittleSalt]

HappyGardener, I think you are right. I had forgotten that. I should edit that part.

I have some 4 year old seeds of asian veggies that I will probably never get to grow out. Can I send these in? I probably won't have time to try and germinate so they might be duds...
