Next shipment should be on Monday. With back spasms and a pinched nerve in the neck acting up (both at the same time, for a first), it's staying at home and packing seeds. I may, or may not, be offline until next week.

Hope you feel better soon. I have one that's been radiating down my arm and making it difficult to drive or get anything done.

The MMMM Seed Santa landed this afternoon!

Thank you so much, Gary. I need to start clearing the porch for micros. Six will be started tomorrow as I was going to start six more micros anyway. They will replace the six aging ones under the lights. Perfect timing!

You were right... you do have a knack for stuffing envelopes that don't look like they're stuffed.

My envelope arrived today; what a great day! I had read everyone's comments from last year so I thought I knew what to expect, but still I wasn't quite prepared for opening up that envelope. Total delight when I watched all those seed packets spill out onto the table. So much fun reading all the names and imagining what they would be like.

Thank you, Gary, for making this swap possible and all the effort you put into it; you're amazing! And thank you to everyone who sent in seeds. Now we just need to have a MMLM (Mostly Mystery Land Mailing) so I have somewhere to grow all of these.

This swap is astounding! Thank you to Chief Enabler Gary and everyone who contributes! I've participated for years, but it's still a surprise when I find that fat package in my mailbox and then open it to find what looks like all the tomato seeds I will ever need if I manage to take control of all the other community garden plots in addition to my own for the next couple decades. Plus other vegetables, and flowers, and herbs!! I even received a couple things that I didn't know about a month ago and had already put on my list for next year. I guess this isn't the year when I scale back.

Looking forward to mine arriving. Tracking says it's late so hopefully usps hasn't misplaced it. If it's half as full as everyone else's, they shouldn't be able to miss it!

I received my package on Saturday, and WOW! So many varieties I have not heard of, and everything I wished for and more. Probably like many, I've been looking up these varieties and reworking my grow list. I have no way of planting even a fraction of the seeds I want. I need to find more space...

Thank you again, @Tormato, for hosting this amazing swap. And to everyone for contributing to its massive success.

I received my package today.... WOW !...unbelievable ! I might need to take the rest of the week off work ( I wish ) so I can go through all these wonderful seeds, look them up (drooling all the while lol) and try to figure out how to grow them all this year My SO only thinks this is the year he is going to talk me into downsizing. Gary, thank you so much for creating this wonderful swap and working so hard on it and thank you to everyone who has been so generous and shared seeds. This is truly a very special group of gardeners. I am going to work harder to save more seeds this year so I can send in and share more with everyone.

It came! I am going to read that catalog this week and then i can send it on. I will need tonknow where it goes next!

Thank you so much! It all looks fantastic. At one point the baby kind of snow angel-ed in the seed packets when he got excited i need to.sort this into my seed album. So thrilling!

The internet, and life, always astonishes me.

If someone told me two decades ago that I'd be sending seeds across the country, and that someone's baby would be snow angel-ing in the pile of them, I'd have thought that person was crazy.

I'll have to find the thread, but there was only one other request for that Baker Creek anchor.

P.S. It is not easy to fit that catalog into a flat rate bubble mailer. It's sort of like a 50 year old man trying on his old wedding tux.

I almost took a picture for you, as i thought it was a pretty good advertisement for the MMMM. I do feel it will become a new measurement for me. "How many seeds are in this envelope?" "Enough that a giant 3-month-old baby can make a reasonable snow angel with them."

I can figure it out if it was just in that thread. I wasn't sure if you had a back list off site of people who had requested.

Lol it was just barely.bent a few pages on the front. You did a good job!

Tormato,

Many thanks for your efforts! I will now commence to hire a tomato research assistant, buy some acreage, hire gardening staff and a divorce attorney.

Thank you so much Tormato, and to everyone who participated, for the embarrassment of riches! It is truly amazing how many packets you can cram into a small envelope! It's like Christmas in January, and I am delighted with everything, from most of my wish list (plus a couple that you didn't even know that I wanted) to all the lovely zinnias, herbs and veggies. I will enjoy researching them in the coming days, and planting them in my '22 gardens .

This tread is like Christmas morning! OOOOH Did Gary get more seeds? Who got their seeds? What is Gary sending out? I get so excited when this thread shows up in "New Posts" It makes me happy!

If in that order, I know where your priorities are.

How did you know that I didn't know?

Package to MN arrived today.

Much gratitude. Although some will have to wait a year.

I'm very pleased to see several short-season varieties and shouted out loud to see a couple of Roger Doucette (Quebec) varieties I do not have and a couple that my seeds got old.

Yay!
