I'm under the assumption it is still being fairly well packed, and participants will need the (Priority Mail) Large Flat Rate Box?

And, the black permanent (I hope) marker descriptions of contents on the large baggies inside are still legible?

It was a very full large priority box, but I taped the heck out of it. :D

The only baggies I noticed that had fading labels were the ones that were nearly empty.

You did good!

I'll get that by evening. Did the summer squash make it to you?
Yes, squash is included in the box. :)

Sorry, I'm not sure. All the tomatoes were good, herbs, peas, beans, flowers....

I'll ask the next person down the line about the nearly empty ones. I'm not sure if I included some garlic (bulbils and maybe bulbs). If so, there wouldn't be much, and would likely be depleted very quickly. There is also the chance that someone added new categories of seeds in new large baggies.

And next year, I'll likely put a large category label inside of each large baggie, so there wouldn't be any possible labeling problem.

When I had the box there were many bean categories and a few were empty or nearly empty but other bean categories had quite a few. The garlic (babies) bulbils were gone as I claimed the last of them. ;) It was a challenge getting that box closed.

I've read on another thread that beans and peppers are low.
I can add several peppers when the box gets to me.
I also have Asian long beans to add, if anyone downstream from me is in a hot-summer climate where these kinds of beans can thrive.

The box has arrived in Wisconsin. It should go out to ValsBackyardHeirlooms on Saturday. The list of participants has been updated in post #48.

@Tormato do you know if the poster shipped Saturday? Val isn’t seeing anything in informed delivery.

Thanks,

A PM on Friday said it was going out on Saturday. I wonder if they had a snowstorm in WI.

I will send a PM tomorrow to get an update.

The box came to Val today! She is all set to send back out to Jen after she gets through it.

Thanks for the update. With my 24 hour fog, I forgot to write down a note, and therefore forgot to send the above mentioned PM. :(

Now, I've got to find the PM having Jen's email address.

No worries. Val has Jen’s home address. Verified with both already. Hopefully the fog lifts for you my friend 🥰

The fog is getting slightly worse. I'm forgetting what to write down for the current day. :(

I now need to get the next participant's address to Jen, that of TomatoNY77. The participant list, in post #48, is again updated. I never thought that anyone would want to move down on the participation list. But someone wanted to go after Jen, figuring that she has a huge diverse collection of tomatoes. Like always, I'm not naming names. :roll:

If you can pass on to Jen about whether she will do a youtube video on the EBTKS swap, it would be enormously appreciated if she would mention every seed variety in the entire contents of the box, along with making her selections. It would then allow participants down the line to know what they can add (if they can make it through a possible hour plus video). ;)
