2017 Mostly Mystery 'Mater Mailing

[Tormato]

When mailing packages, with wish lists, send in lists, have lists (if you'd like to), and a legible address, please include a name on that return address. A name helps reduce any "suspicion" by the postal authorities.

I want to send some squash seeds and I haven't cut the squash yet. Just picked it a week ago and would like it to cure some before I cut it and eat it. Do you want to know what it is? If so I will post it in the squash thread. Or keep it a mystery too.

Listing anything except tomatoes is fine. I'll be posting a list of all non-tomato seeds that come in.

Glad to hear it!

Of course plenty of seeds from prveious years, but I am not sure any of the varieties are of interest to the participants.

Narnian, there are a lot of people here. We're all different. I bet there are people interested in the ones you've grown. Also, remember you can send in fewer than 10 packets and participate in the "bonus" section of the MMMM.

Perhaps I'll do that.

Hi, I would like to join. But a have some (a lot) questions.
- What is the deadline for sending seeds?
- I read that 5 to 10 seeds are normal for a seed bag. But how many bags do I ship for each variety? Some varieties will only give me a couple of bags, but from some varieties I have loads of seeds. 20? 50? More?
- I understand that we don't only swap tomato seeds. We can ship seeds of vegetables, lettuce, beans, pepers, flowers,...?
- If I have a wishlist, do I just ship this list with my seeds? Do I make my list from the spoiler thread? Or can I just make my wish list and hope some of those varieties will be available?

First make a wish list. Then go here...

...click on the link, and add your wish list varieties to the master wish list. If you are adding to a variety already wished for, increase the number for that variety by 1.

PM me, the host, with any questions.

Wow! That was quick for my package.

Tormato, I cleaned my home office over the weekend and found a Tomato Seed Request list. If my package is missing one, please let me know.

Sorry for the trouble but the seeds I sent were a lot better this year!!!

Do we sign up to join the swap on the google doc site or someplace else? Also, do we send stamps or cash for return postage? Thanks, Karen

[Nan_PA_6b]

Karen, no need to register, just send in your seeds and/or list in a padded mailer. Historically, Tormato has taken cash or postage enclosed in your padded mailer, for return postage.

Thank you so much!

[Tormato]

Any combination of stamps or cash.

Regular 3/4" transparent tape is just about useless for sealing packages. I recommend packing tape.

My package mailed today!

Aaarrrgggghhh! I just realized I didn't send in any list with my package! Tormato, what is the best way to get that list to you? Mail, email, ???
