Do any of the good tomato seed vendors offer “grab bag” or mixed selections? This year I will have more room to grow various new-to-me and unusual/novelty tomato cultivars but am reluctant to buy twelve whole packets of seeds just to grow twelve different plants. Preferably they would be small packets of just a few seeds.
Thanks!

Eden Brothers has a culinary blend for $5.95.

Poking around here just now I discovered the seeds wanted/offered area and the MMMM Swap. This warrants further exploration...

@DriftlessRoots I'm so sorry to tell you that the MMMM is closed for this year. Please do save some seeds from your garden this year so that you can play in the swap this coming fall. This swap is the swap of all times and one you need to try at least once in your life! The swap makes dreams come true!

If you approach too close, the Mostly Mystery 'Mater Maelstrom will suck you in. Water wings, a life vest, and a life preserver, will just delay the inevitable.

I recommend that you make a purchase at one vendor, and then perhaps the swap can fill in the rest (and just maybe, maybe, more).

Well, that answers my question about what the Ms stand for! I was assuming it was just mmmmm...tomatooooes!

I may have a non-tomato offer in exchange for tomatoes yet this spring if I get my act together after this coming weekend's "thing" is behind me.
Just for future reference, what is the beginning/ending timeframe for the MMMMMMMM?

The real MMMM stands for Mostly Mystery 'Mater Mailing, to the initiated. Maelstrom is for the newbies.

Beginning/Ending? Can someone point me to the meaning of those terms?

Pinetree was one of the first to have a "mix" of cabbage - one of the really good things to get, that would be ready at various times, instead of a bunch of heads at once. The have a lot of mixes now - cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, and greens, come to mind. One problem that can happen with this - you can get a fantastic variety, but you can't ID it! I had this way back, before internet made it easier to ID, and even the people at Baker Creek, where I got a mix of Asian greens, could not ID it, when I explained what it looked like. 2 years later, in another catalog, I saw it for the first time - Shogoin - which I now see in many catalogs. I also got a lettuce this way, that I still haven't ID'd, so I have to save seeds for it!

I think Renee's Garden Seeds has some blended packs.
