2016 Mostly Mystery 'Mater Mailing - Page 6

To enter a category you need ~50 seeds, 5 seeds/pack X 10 packs. Being a few packs short would be OK.

Also, another way of "entering" a category is to put that category on your wish list. While those that enter categories by sending in 10 packs get first preference for seeds, anything left over would next go to categories on wish lists.

If there anybody who needs sponsored in the cherry tomato category, I have more than enough to sponsor several folks. Just Pm me.

Before I forget again, I want to say thank you to all the folks who sent in seed that I received in last years swap and I received some of. I had an enjoyable time growing them and tasting new and different things, but the most important was since all the plants did so well and were loaded with fruits, I was able to share the fruits with folks who appreciated receiving it and they said thank you too.

Tormato, how about a "disease resistant" category? Too few or reliable in heirloom?

Excuse me. I have one dumb question. Which are the tomato categories?

Ricky Shaw · July 25, 2016

There's probably a link somewhere in this thread that references them, I couldn't find it either though. Just go with 'Beefsteaks', there's tons of possibilities in that category.

Not a dumb question at all and I do not see your answer posted in this thread so it would be great to have here for everyone.

Last years was:

Beefsteak

Black

Blue

Cherry/Grape/Currant

*Cool Weather

Determinate/Dwarf (mostly "Dwarf Project")/Micro Dwarf - I may split this into three different categories

Eastern European

Experimental

*Giant (2 lb +)

Green

Heart

Hot Weather

Italian

Knock-Your-Socks-Off

*Novelty

Paste/Canner

Pink

Red

Striped

Very Early (55 DTM or less)

Yellow/Gold/Orange/Bi-color/Tri-color/White

Gary was talking about a few others but I do not know what he finally has decided.
I am not sure that he will be using all of these this year but this is a good start for you to begin thinking about.

Aerial · July 25, 2016

LOL Ricky. Tormato pls post the final list. (Oh don't we LOVE lists?) Link to category discussion on the 2015 thread.

Ricky Shaw · July 25, 2016

And I believe there was talk of, 'Potato Leaf" and 'Hybrid' categories.

....and "tribbles" the ribbed, ruffled, or fluted category (with the most creatively confusing name).

M.SeanF. · July 26, 2016

I just bumped the 2015 MMMM thread that had the list of 2016 categories

Thanks for bumping that I had missed that post. So this is the list of categories for this year. Oh boy, where to start.

Beefsteak

Black - could use more varieties than the fairly common ones usually sent in

Blue - same comment as Black

Cherry/Grape/Currant

Determinate/Dwarf (mostly Dwarf Project)/Micro-Dwarf

Eastern European

Experimental - (non-commercial) F1's, F2's, etc...

Giant - 3 lb+ potential, there may not be very many varieties sent in

Green - same comment as Black

Heart

Hot Weather★

Italian - same comment as Black, or this may have to combined with the Paste/Canner category

Knock-Your-Socks-Off

Oldies But Goodies - older varieties that are rarely seen/talked about anymore

Paste/Canner

Pink

Red

Striped

Very Early - 55 DTM or less

Yellow/Gold/Orange/Bi-color/Tri-color/White

*Cool Weather - maybe not enough demand for a category

*Novelty - maybe not enough varieties or demand for a category

Desert Island - Your ONE AND ONLY favorite variety (SunGold doesn't count)★

Potato Leaf

Tribbles - heavily ribbed, pleated, ridged, scalloped, fluted, ruffled beauties★

cmwsquirrl · July 26, 2016

I am interested in cooler weather or dwarfs..... I don't have enough seeds to join just one of the categories but being from ND I am wanting to try and grow dwarfs

Hollylasue · July 26, 2016

Oh I'm late!! I want to participate as well with a sponsor.I am attempting seed saving this year so I might have something to send in maybe.Since I'll be sponsored do I even do the wish list or just get whatever?

Tormato · July 26, 2016

Hybrids will be attempted as a category. We'll see what happens.

And, a Dwarf Project category will be separate from a Determinate/Dwarf Determinate/Micro Dwarf "patio/container" category
