Got almost everything I wanted. Telepathic substitutions with my requests in mind. Can't believe but they are right in front of me. One unsolicited little thin bag with a name scribbled on a humble fuchsia strip. Holy Tomatoes, it's "The One" I always wanted but was afraid to ask. I'm feeling really lucky.

FLRedheart, your enthusiasm and gratitude is really palpable... Lovely image! I can spot several languages that I understand, but I don't see my own

Narnian, The Finnish tomato was smaller but sweeter (Paljon kiitoksia, Ukko), as it was grown by the light of the North Star in the midst of winter. Please note I added another picture of the superb harvest!

There's about 3 more tomato participants to go, hopefully on Wednesday. I need to Czech on one postal rate.

After that, about 15 who are in on both the tomatoes and beans, which may take a week or two (after looking at one 120 variety bean wish list, not in alphabetical order).


I am looking forward and thank you.

Vladimir,

I likely already asked, but please PM me your mailing address, again.

The postal rate was easy, just a "global forever" stamp.

The first word should not have any gap near the end. I don't know why it did that, and editing it only moves the gap around.

And just when we thought all those Russian, Polish and Siberian varieties were a challenge to pronounce... 😄

I've been saving that one for a long time. Our Tomatoville host (Mischka) lives near the lake. I'm about 50 miles away. The native translation is "I fish on my side, you fish on your side, nobody fishes in the middle."

There is a New Z'land word even longer, but seeing I'm almost exactly half a world from there, I'm not going to use it.


Going out today...

CZECH V Gr - 1st of 2 letters, this one all heart tomatoes. The next letter will be flower seeds and... it seems people have sent in Dwarf Project varieties for you. I just hope this first one gets through the high speed rollers at the post office.

Thank you Gary!

My MMMM seeds arrived today and they are Mmmm! I received many of the ones on my "most wanted list" and the rest are just perfect! Lots of dwarfs and compacts and yummy tasting ones. I can't wait to get growing!

This must be such a labour of love, and it is very much appreciated.

Thank you so much Gary! My package arrived, very well sealed, and filled with different tomatoes. I haven't had much of a chance to look through it, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the work you do to get these out!

I think Gary is developing some sort of sixth sense. My wish list included a three varieties from Brokenbar's "Top 20" list. While I only received one of them, He did send me three others from her list including one I thought I'd never see -- Venetian Marketplace.
