Received my package today and words can't describe how great I feel! Many thanks Gary for your time and very generous effort with the swap!!!! I'm speechless! I would like to thank everyone else in the swap for sending in seeds, this site has many great and generous folks not only in seeds etc but with insight and knowledge and are eager to share it!

Mine came today too. Gary, you are awesome! What a great surprise in my mailbox. I can't believe how many packets were in the envelope. Nearly everything I asked for and plenty more to look up online. Thank you everyone who sent their seeds in. At least it is too cold to go outside, so I have some time putting them in planting order.

I got my seeds today. I'm glad I decided to participate! Thank you so much Gary! April can't come fast enough

I got my seeds today, too. Wow! My wish list had uncommon varieties on it, and I would've been happy to find any one of them, but I got 5 out of 8! This is such a great opportunity to share each year's favorites with other enthusiastic tomato growers!

k3vin · January 6, 2015

WOW!, Just WOW... What a huge assortment of varieties. When I opened the envelope today and dumped it out on the kitchen counter my jaw nearly fell through the floor. Thank you to all those who shared seeds, and a HUGE thank you to Gary for putting this all together!!!

Hi Gary,

Thank you for your efforts in coordinating the seed swap.

charline · January 6, 2015

Seeds finally arrived in France! I am the happiest woman over here!
thank you so much Gary
I know what I am doing tonight...... guess!!!

charline · January 6, 2015

Tomato Beth · January 6, 2015

My package for 'PA B Ca' arrived last evening.

Thank you all to everyone who contributed seeds. I LOVE all the varieties you all sent in, and I'm very grateful to everyone sharing their favorite and/or rare seeds. I'll be able to continue my goal of trying varieties my ancestors from different countries may have grown. Thanks also for the beans, peppers, and milkweed. Our bellies and the Monarch butterflies will be thanking you this summer! Big thank yous to Gary--you rock!

Tormato · January 7, 2015

Going out today...

CA D Pe
CAN D Mc
CAN W Os
FIN L M Ha (psst...start a thread about orange paste varieties)

FL A Da
GA F Mi
IL G Ri
MA G Mc (psst...start a thread about non-sweet varieties)

MD K Wo
MI M Di
MI N Ru
NE L Ge
OH P Br
OH M No
TX R Da
UT B Be
UT D Fo
VA J Ke
WA S We

That's about 2/3 of tomatoes (only) participants. Those also in on the bean swap will be last. There are a few southern growers (CA, BERM, etc...) that I'll try to get packages out very soon.

Then I have to inventory and repackage packs with large amounts of seeds into several more packs, because.............

I can't add. My estimations were way off this year, forgetting my contribution was mostly lost, and including bonuses into the total of sent seed packs by each participant.

I am so anxious every time you post seeds going out! I am worried my requests must have been too complicated, because my name's not up yet... going crazy with anticipation!

Gary - When this madness stops, will you please post some of the most wanted varieties this year that didn't get enough seed, because I would happily buy/grow one or two of them next year.

Tormato · January 7, 2015

No request is too complicated. It's the lack of ANY request that is difficult. I'm still trying to track down one or two people (at Gardenweb) for their wish lists, if they have one.

Briefly looking at a few of your older posts (super w

rrier), I'll try to send your package out Thursday.

LindyAdele · January 7, 2015

I am a super worrier. Guilty as charged...
It's enough to know that I haven't been forgotten. They could come anytime... I don't get to start seeds until March!
