ISO a source for Microbecium Occemus seeds. I have not had any luck so far. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I took a bag from the EBTKS swap, I think I have planted it though. Let me look and see if any remain.

I had a small bag of seeds from the swap a couple of years back. I remembered the name because I just entered it in my database. They are from 2020 so perhaps there are others who have some floating around... if not i can attempt to get my self to a Post Office to mail it.

I appreciate you both @ Homegrwoninillinois and @ wykvlvr. I’m actually from Northern Illinois and now live in South West Wyoming, so I’ll consider it a sign I am to grow this.

I should still have 1,000+ seeds, but I currently cannot find them.

A highly recommended variety to try, due to its "uniqueness", being a small (2 oz?) ruffled red (some say mini-beefsteak?). It is very early, extremely productive, I had zero disease issues, and it is the sweetest "lots of gel" tomato (not including cherries) that I've ever trialed. The only drawback is that it might not be a variety for those that like tomatoes to be very meaty. While it looks like a mini-beefsteak on the outside, it doesn't on the inside.

I grew MO last year, in an unheated, partially shaded greenhouse in the North of England. It was a rubbish year weather-wise, but MO was a beast of plant and fruited like it was going out of fashion. I got my seeds from the US, from Delectation of Tomatoes.

Thanks for the info @ Tormato and eatenbyweasels. Very much appreciated. I must have skipped over it at Delectation’s website. Will look again. This is a great group!

[wykvlvr]

hmm Tristen is near Evanston so close to your area. She is not in TJ often but ... I will tag her maybe she has it (no Tristen it is not in your box)

Hey Neighbor!
I am up in the valley, not in Evanston, but I have a big collection of tomato seeds I will look at & let you know if I have MO.

[TLC333]

I actually do not have this! Kinda surprised now I want some too!

[PAW420]

Thank you @ wykvlvr. And thank you TLC333 for checking. I am just getting back into gardening after a long break and just recently started looking at micro’s and dwarf varieties. Working on building up my stash. I will get some ordered from Delectation. I can let you know once I get them if you would like some seeds. Hope to get a greenhouse put up by the end of the month. I’m in Rock Springs, so I’m trying to find something that can handle the wind. May just build from scratch. Thanks again, you all are great!
