Wow! I'll have a big pile of seeds to ring in the New Year with...unless our incoming Nor'easter slows down the mail.

Thanks Gary!

Gary:

Wow! Wow! Wow! The tomato and pepper seeds just arrived - this is amazing!

Thank you for all the time and thoughtfulness that you put in to the MMMM.

I caught a cold that my wife and daughter had over Christmas - now I can organize the seeds and dream of a beautiful, tomato-growing spring & summer.

Thank you.

Jeff

You gotta wonder how the post office stays in business.

I just received my MMMM envelope (thanks Gary and all who contributed!) still sporting, if I'm not mistaken, the same stamps I sent it with.

I'm guessing they didn't cancel them going west so they just got left on. And, and they never cancelled them coming back east...

I'm going to switch the two labels and tuck the envelope away to re-use for next year's swap. Let's see how many more trips across the state these stamps are good for!

Is that why they call them "forever" stamps?

I guess so!

I haven't had time to do much more than quickly glance through the pile of seeds, but surprisingly it looks like someone came through with my #1 wishlist variety!

The seeds have arrived!!! Thanks for making this happen and yes I'll grow the list you sent for next year. I'll also send the same mailer back because the PO didn't stamp my mailer either. Gary are you bribing your PO with seeds for free postage?

Mine came too! The stamps on mine weren't cancelled either, so I guess the PO wants me to join in again next year even though I already many years' worth of seeds for my little garden. Thank you to all of the seed donors, and especially to Tormato. Now for the fun of sorting and researching!

Mine were delivered too! Blown away with the # of pepper seeds. I didn't know there were so many sweet peppers.

This was my 3rd year and am totally blown away with the varieties received differed from prior years.

One more thing, my favorite tomato this fall was Aussie - from one of the prior year MMMM packages.

Thank you so much for doing this year after year. I already sowed the top 2 the seeds on the MMMM wish list to send back.

Christmas come early...or well maybe late. However you want to put it I am blow away at the amount of varieties. Thank you so much Tormato for organizing this whole thing. I can't imagine the amount of work you put into it. Also thank you to everyone who grew and saved seeds of all of these wonderful varieties. I can't wait to be one of them. Thanks again everyone. Now I have some seeds to look up!

Well, Santa and his sleigh left for Europe 3 weeks ago. Crossing the ocean is always a wearying job for those reindeers, so I haven't lost my hope yet and keep my fingers crossed

Meanwhile happy 2017 to everyone!
