I like the card too. I tried to grow everything, but I had one not true, one not germinate, and several got dug up by a racoon. Trying to see if I can fit them all in this year as well, looking good so far....

No, no toothpick could help you with this...

It is too bad that it is so stuck....

I have a picture of me using mouthwash- a saline wash, of course!

I got my package today, only 12 days after it has been sent.

Considering fact that it came from other side of world it is super-fast in my humble opinion. But real shock came when I opened envelope, so many seed, so many varieties. It took me more than 2 hour to catalogue everything. Can't even imagine how much effort was to pack it all and label it for Tormato.

Thanks again, Tormato, I really, really appreciate what you did.

And now, back to planing where should I plant all those seeds in my ~ 1/24 acre garden.

Imp, it must take an hour to brush those teeth? It might be easier just going to the car wash. Foamy brush, rinse, wax

That is a great idea!! I keep snapping the floss in two when I try to floss those pearly whites!

Thank you!!!! My package arrived yesterday and I spent hours learning about the varieties received. I have some questions that I will post on the other thread, although I was wondering if you happened to keep a list of which varieties were sent in for which category. I'd be especially interested in knowing what was sent in for the KYSO or "Desert Island" categories; as I plan next year's garden, I'd love to know which varieties have been vetted and deemed especially exceptional by Tomatovillians.

I wanted to say a special thank you for sending me a seed from your personal stash for Alice off of my wish list. I have been wanting to grow it for years in honor of my late grandmother, and because it looks like a wonderful tomato. I have not been able to find a commercial source anywhere. I am crossing my fingers that I can get this seed to grow to maturity and send seeds back out into the stream of growers in next year's swap....whenever you are ready to pm me the suggestion card (or if anyone can post a photo of it here) I would appreciate being able to factor it into my garden planning as well.

Thank you again!

I got my package yesterday. Thank you Tormato and all who sent in seeds. Wow! What great variety! Thanks for the suggestion card- good to know what will be helpful for next year's swap. Added to other requests and the seeds I've already bought for next season, I can see a fun summer ahead.
As usual, though, everything depends on what kind of growing year we get. We'll see!

I sent in seeds I saved to the MMMM for Momotaro F2 2016 and Dancing with Smurfs 2015. I got zero germination from both of these. I thought I would let everyone know that you might experience the same results if you got seeds from me.

The Dancing with Smurfs are in a 2x3" bag with a cut index card label saying Dancing with Smurfs 15 - written with a black ultra fine sharpie. I doubt anyone else sent in Momotaro F2 seeds, but it should be labeled the same way.

Tormato · January 25, 2017

Going out today...

CA Co G (partial)
IL Er E
PA Fr S
TX White, Greta

(Hooper can figure it out for ya)
WA Go L

About a dozen to go, with 5 Canadians, and 3 Nebraskans of those left. Is something in both their waters that gives them patience? I'm hoping to finish up on Monday, finishing with Finish Salmaikki.

Esterina gets the Tyrkish Peber. I don't know if any of you can figure that one out.

Then it's a few more days to wrap up the bean swap.

fmc 53 · January 25, 2017

I got my seeds 3 weeks ago.
I am only able to respond now because of major computer problems.
I would like to thanks Tormato and everyone in the swap.

Not disappointed? I lost your second sheet ,which I just now found. I didn't know you wanted a few categories, so I went by the types you had on your wish list (mostly Dwarf, Black, and Paste).
