This thread will be for participants who would like to post the tomato varieties they are sure to send in. It can be used by other participants to make selections for their wish lists.

If you want your returned package to be a 100% mystery, read no further.

I enjoy the anticipation, the wondering, the mystery of what pray tell might be in my package. I enjoy Santa Claus and will not be trying to peek into everything that he brings. The anticipation is what brings on the thrill.

Well, I had a list of about 50 Eastern European varieties (those really hard to spell ones) all typed up, and thought I hit submit. It looks like it disappeared to who knows where. :(

This site does have a save function. If you hit the back button to the place where you were typing it, you will find it without having to do it over.

I'm still trying to get used to the Chromebook. Shortly after hitting what I thought was submit, the heel of my palm hit ctrl, or something, and the internet disappeared.

"Elbonian Mudball" 😂 I loved the Elbonian segments on Dilbert. Might have to grow those once just for the giggles!

I also have Elbonian Hip Deep. If you follow Dilbert you know you only see the Elbonians above the waist, because they're hip deep in it. EHD grows about waist high for me.

And, a 3rd Elbonian variety is a work in progress.

I have the following ready to go out. Following Gary's formatting:

Antonucci Slicer '20 (8) [This is our family's heirloom. It's a red beefsteak with fruit well over a pound reaching close to two pounds. It's been selected for Western Pennsylvania climate (USDA Zone 6A) and the fruit are well shaped, "pretty" looking.]

Mortgage Lifter '20 (8) [Purchased from MIGardener in 2018, I grew out the seeds and saved the largest tomatoes from the harvest. The average weight was a pound. The fruit are a rich pink color]

I'm not sure if I listed all of the "categories" of tomato types that participants use for reference in the swap.

Antonucci Slicer may be showing up on wish lists for individual varieties, which will take preference over wish lists of category varieties, like the Italian category. Perhaps next year it can make it's way into the Italian category of the swap.
