Fun, terror, and wild dreams, not in any particular order.

Hooray! I was hoping that you would be feeling up to taking on the challenge again. With all that this year has brought, I really could use something to look forward to! Thank you

[happydog]

I'm so glad you're back and doing it again this year! Thank you!

I've tried to make it a particular disorder, but never get it quite right.

The super-condensed version of what the swap is...

You send me bubble mailer, legible return address, return postage.

I send back overstuffed bubble mailer, wreck your 2021 garden plans.

Are you gonna do beans too this year? <she asks hopefully>

[Tormato]

Yes, there will be beans, as I'm in desperate need for help with some grow-outs.

2019 was a near total crop loss, and 2020 isn't looking much better. I'll go through the collection, and post the varieties and their ages. It will take a few days, as I think they still number in the hundreds.

i can donate a lot of seeds of some varieties of tomatoes. some are 4 to 6 years old,
but should germinate just fine.

also in the bean department
i have uncle steve italian pole beans 2019. (lots)
grandma ginas 2019 (limited)

aerons purple star runner bean 2019(limited) (can't be sold, only donated)


gary, if you want the beans, let me know. i'll prolly need to mail them in a box.
too many for a padded envelope.


any luck growing out the uncle steve/grandma gina cross beans?

Wooohooo!

[clara]

Great news, tormato! I'm in!

[tryno12]

When does the MMMM start?

[Tormato]

It starts depending on the level of participation of each individual. If a participant will not be supplying any seeds that are requested on others' wish lists, and knows exactly what they will be sending in, the swap can start soon for them. Any seed harvested this year should be fully dry before packing.

An overview of the several parts of the swap, a brief note on labeling seed packs, number of seeds per pack, my address, bubble mailer or equivalent packaging, legible return address, wish list, return postage rates, a few deadlines listed, and then it should be a go.

The deadline for me receiving packages will be about November 20th. The deadline for participants to post their wish lists will be about November 1st. This deadline means that those who would be sending in varieties to match others' wish list requests should wait until November 1st to view the wish lists and then send in their seeds.
