ISO a source for Microbecium Occemus seeds. I have not had any luck so far. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I took a bag from the EBTKS swap, I think I have planted it though. Let me look and see if any remain.

I had a small bag of seeds from the swap a couple of years back. I remembered the name because I just entered it in my database. They are from 2020 so perhaps there are others who have some floating around... if not i can attempt to get my self to a Post Office to mail it.

I appreciate you both @ Homegrwoninillinois and @ wykvlvr. I’m actually from Northern Illinois and now live in South West Wyoming, so I’ll consider it a sign I am to grow this. :D

I should still have 1,000+ seeds, but I currently cannot find them. :(

A highly recommended variety to try, due to its "uniqueness", being a small (2 oz?) ruffled red (some say mini-beefsteak?). It is very early, extremely productive, I had zero disease issues, and it is the sweetest "lots of gel" tomato (not including cherries) that I've ever trialed. The only drawback is that it might not be a variety for those that like tomatoes to be very meaty. While it looks like a mini-beefsteak on the outside, it doesn't on the inside.

I grew MO last year, in an unheated, partially shaded greenhouse in the North of England. It was a rubbish year weather-wise, but MO was a beast of plant and fruited like it was going out of fashion. I got my seeds from the US, from Delectation of Tomatoes.

Thanks for the info @ Tormato and eatenbyweasels. Very much appreciated. I must have skipped over it at Delectation’s website. Will look again. This is a great group!

Hey Neighbor!
I am up in the valley, not in Evanston, but I have a big collection of tomato seeds I will look at & let you know if I have MO.

Thank you @ wykvlvr. And thank you TLC333 for checking. I am just getting back into gardening after a long break and just recently started looking at micro’s and dwarf varieties. Working on building up my stash. I will get some ordered from Delectation. I can let you know once I get them if you would like some seeds. Hope to get a greenhouse put up by the end of the month. I’m in Rock Springs, so I’m trying to find something that can handle the wind. 😁 May just build from scratch. Thanks again, you all are great!
