Hello from the White Mountains
Avid tomato grower from the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Our one acre property started as a haven for the fattest, happiest, buzziest bees around but has grown to include a substantial garden every year. I fell down the tomato rabbit hole six years ago and I've got it bad!
Bee happy and pollinate freely!

Re: Hello from the White Mountains
Welcome to the Junction @FatBeeFarm. This place has more seeds flying around that you just can't seem to get away from them. They come from everywhere and then you find that you just can't help but to grow them. The MMMM (Mostly Mystery Mater Mailing) is just starting up. It's the biggest seed swap around and lots of fun to join.

Re: Hello from the White Mountains
Nevermind, lol, I found the MMM section, thanks for the heads up!
Miss S, wow, the MMMM sounds great! How do I sign up? I grow about 30 different varieties every year and am always changing it up and love testing new tomato varieties. I must have seeds for over 100 varieties by now.

Another wave from Wisconsin. We get out to NH almost annually and just love the mountains, there.

Re: Hello from the White Mountains
There is no place to sign up. Just make your wish list and send in your seeds. 5-10 seeds per pack and 10 packs of one variety for each category is suggested but not required. There is also a bonus section where you just send in various seed packs (still 5-10 per pack) and get seeds back from various categories. Then there is the Nifty Fifty which since this is your first year I suggest that you let others play in this party.FatBeeFarm wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 9:30 am Nevermind, lol, I found the MMM section, thanks for the heads up!

Re: Hello from the White Mountains
Thanks for the welcome! I imagine growing tomatoes in the UP can be challenging, even more than here in the mountains.
