Major Disaster at Muddy Bucket Farm

[eyegrotom]

Hi Ted. I have seeds for 1884 Purple. Margaret Curtain. and Morado Chocolate. P M me a address and I'll put them in the mail tomorrow. Mike

[ContainerTed]

Thank you to all of my "Tomatoville Neighbors" who have come forward to help. You can't know how much this means to me. My simple "thank you" seems to be so inadequate a response. But the words are sincere and my heart is full.

You folks are the best!!!

I have Heatherington Pink. Already have your address just let me know.

Yes. And, surely, there must be something I can return.

For the lurkers and the visitors, this is why I am proud to be a member of this most wonderful community.

Don't need a thing! Like most I have more seeds than I'll ever grow.

So sorry to read about your problems, Ted. It proves that things like this can happen to the very best of us (you!). I'm glad you have no problems with the varieties I sent. I can send you Ferris Wheel - just say the word.

The tide ebbs and flows, doesn't it. I'll accept your offer of Ferris Wheel. But, I owe you already. What can I do to return your generosity??

Ted, I'm sorry I don't have Cherokee Chocolate after all. I can't find it anywhere! Margaret Curtain will be on the way tomorrow. So this is notice to all that Ted still needs Cherokee Chocolate.

I have some Chapman and Margaret Curtain. I grew Aurora a few years ago but I can't find it. Do you want to try some Gogosha?

Ted

I'll get the seeds out today, and you don't owe me anything. You were the one of the first here to give me seeds, asking nothing in return. I just hope you'll get your season back on an even keel.

Barb, thank you for your offer. But it seems that those two are already covered. Thanks also for the gogosha offer. I'll pass on that one this time. However, if I have a variety you want or need, just name it and I'll send it your way.

Ted, I can't see your pictures on this computer (random problem on my end), but just wanted to say how sad it was to hear this happen from something totally out of your control. We all seem to have an unexpected problem at some point, and the support here really helps take some of the stress off of the situation.

The still needed varieties on your list don't ring a bell, but my memory isn't what it used to be. If I can find any in my stash, they would be from prior MMMM swaps, and also the last year Heather ran a similar offer. Would the typical 5 or 10 seeds be enough to get you going? Either way I will check because I am curious to research what you have selected. If I find one, we can grow them out together!

I won't see your answer until tonight. I have to run some errands, and that does not include buying Miracle Grow products!! Sadly I bought the organic potting product from Costco last year and it had a chemical smell too.

Thanks to you all. I'm going to repay you one way or another. If I have your address, expect something to show up real soon.

Ted, I'm really sorry about your misfortune! And yesterday, I thought that I'm the only one with bad luck - I lost a whole tray with already transplanted seedlings, they are all dead, sigh... 8 varieties, but fortunately I have two more seedlings of one variety in another tray. Today I've re-sown everything (and added 2 more varieties...).

If it doesn't arrive too late, I can send you President Garfield, but these seeds are older, perhaps 3 or 4 years.

Maybe this is the year for disasters. Is there anything I can send you?? And don't worry about the President Garfield. I've found a couple of commercial sources here in the states. Some very nice members here are helping with some my loses, and I'm looking for some commercial sources for some of the others. Are those "special seeds" okay or do I need to send more? I have plenty. Let me know.

Take care, Miss Clara, and don't strain that back any more than necessary to give that little man an extra hug.

Ted
