Another member above sort of asked this question but I'm still confused, sorry! Is the bubble mailer we use to send our seeds to @Tormato reused to send seeds back to us, or should the package we send to Tormato include an unused bubble mailer inside it? I know the instructions say to send a bubble mailer, but I don't know whether that just means the one we contain everything in, or if it means put one inside the package. (I can make even the simplest thing complicated inside my head.)

That's a good question. The mailer that you send to Tormato is reused to send your seeds back to you. That is why you need to include a return label and postage as well as your user name.

Oh! Well, I included a second envelope and preaddressed it as well as a return. Now I am second guessing if I wrote my username or not. My name is my.username.

I generally ask for a username from people that rarely post. Sometimes I'll get a package with their real name. But, I have no idea who they are online, and how to contact them if necessary.

Pick out some zinnias. ;)

HA, you're not the only one! I also sent a self-addressed bubble mailer inside the bubble mailer!
Too many tomatoes, not enough time.

I'll be sending in a number of varieties in groups of 10 packs of 5-10 seeds according to the guidelines. If I have some other varieties in small quantities, can I send those in also, or is that a nuisance and it would be better to just post an offer on the forum? For example, if I have 9 seeds of a variety, is it useful or annoying for me to send those in as a single pack? I wouldn't be expecting anything in return for them; I'm just hoping to find them a good home. Thanks.

Small quantities, that's the bonus category.

You never know what you have, that someone else wants. I had a participant several years ago that only had a single pack of Green Giant to send in. Another participant had it as their #1 wish list variety. That year, it was the only pack of GG in the swap.

Hi Tormato !

Thank you for including the link for your MMMM swap on the SSSS forum. I have some tomato seeds that need a good home and I would love to join in ;-) Is there a sign up process here ? So basically we need to fill a bubble envelope full of seeds we want to give away and send them to you and you redistribute them to all the participants according to their wish list ? I hope I did not miss the deadline ?

First work on your wish list. The spoiler alert is the thread listing tomato varieties that some participants are sending in. If you want to keep things a mystery as to what you may receive, don't go there. If you don't want a total mystery, go there and pick things out. The non-tomato thread will be for all other seed coming in. The deadline will be about the end of November. No sign up, no rules, just read the requirements thread.

If I mail out on Monday, would that be too late? Hoping to use the extra long weekend to finish up.

No, as time stands still with this swap.
