MrSalvage · October 13, 2016

I got my SASE off in the mail today. I wanted to thank my sponsors & Gary for this awesome offer. I hope I did everything right. As it's to late to change now. I am excited to get started on 2017!

Thanks again to ALL!
Bill

I just picked the peppers yesterday (well most of them, see below). My 7yo has been helping me write "2016" on the labels.

Actually I still have one pepper and one tomato (the tom was put in late, but the pepper is just taking their time) and they have mature sized fruit that I keep hoping will turn soon. If not I guess they will have to wait until next year.

I just had a lot of catch-up reading to do.

I'm about to start packing my seeds. I'm hoping to get them done within the next week and out in the mail!

This is always such a fun swap. Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!

Oooh, we had such a late and short season - my seeds are still fermenting!

nope, Gary's deadline is fast approaching. My packet is almost done though, just a few more varieties to bag up.

Speaking of Gary, anyone heard from him lately?

He did say in that post that he'd be off line until about "October 3rd or so," but given that the 3rd was almost two weeks ago, I figured we would have seen him back by now. The 3rd would have been the day after the Big E Fair ended, which Gary has mentioned being involved with in past years.

I know. That is why I have been trying to help others in this thread with their questions. I don't know Gary personally. I just know he is a man with an amazing will to help others.

And I, and this computer, may be off-line until about October 3rd, or so. I may, or may not, post this Friday or Saturday prior to the above shutdown.

It was sounding like a computer/access to a computer issue. Hopefully everything else is okay and that's the only reason he hasn't been able to come back here.

Hi
I said earlier I wanted to join the MMMM. I also want to join the pepper and bean ones also.I could not find where to join those ones at.Can I send them in all together?
Me and my son have been packing tomatoes up all day yesterday today we are going to work on the peppers and beans.I know some of the rules for the beans about quantity can someone direct me to a post that gives me the rules for it please.I will be sending in alot it sounds like great swaps.
I would like to get them in the mail this week

"Unopened packages sound like about 20-30 beans a pack, which I'll split up.

And that reminds me, while tomatoes should be 5-10 seeds a pack, peppers should be a minimum of 10, and beans 5-10 per pack. If someone really wants more seeds of a special variety, you can request more than one pack. I'll post about this, as a reminder, later in the year."

Pulled this from Tormato's post #113 on this thread. I also wanted to know if the bean swap is separate but it sounds like you send all the seeds in at the same time.

I'm excited about your beans. The legumes are mostly what I'm in it for this year.

I'll be sending a bunch in too, but am still drying, sorting and packaging
