Thank you so much for the seeds. I am thrilled with the ones that I received - especially excited to have Chocolate Cherry! Does that sound like a yummy tomato, or what?

Trudi,
I received my seeds a few days ago. thank you so very much for your generousity and this terrific work that Wintersown is doing. I've visited the website and am looking for ways that i can contribute.
best regards,
jg

Thank you JG, you're very welcome. At WinterSown I'm always working on something (it never ends). I'm currently working on building a set of make-your-own seed packets that will print out four to a page; right now only the most generic are ready to download.

Thanks for making winter sowing possible, can't wait to see the little tomato seedlings growing in late March. However my DW isn't too happy with all the milk jugs in the back yard. Guess I'll have to make a pretty barrier around the Jugs to hide them from view. LOL

George

You're very welcome George--I think in the past some of our WSers have used lattice fencing with some 2 x 4s to make screening.

Dear Trudi,
I hope that these are still available:
Winter sow tomato seed
Black Sea Man
Gilbertie
Fuzzy Peach
Isis Candy cherry
Aunt RubyÂs German Green
Black Brandywine

Alt
Italian Market Wonder

Sondra

I have them all packed in good amounts, thank you for asking, Sondra. I just happened to have packed another thirty of the Black Brandywine yesterday afternoon; it's been very popular lately.

Thank you Trudi for your reply. I'll get my envelopes ready. Happy and warm holiday wishes to you.
Thanks for all you do!
Sondra

Trudi,

Sandra

Looks like a great set of choices with lots of different sizes, shapes and colors. I'm glad you like the list--it truly has something for everyone including some blends for people who aren't sure what they want but they love a good tomato ;-)

If still available, I would like the following, please:

Rhoades Heirloom

Brad's Black Heart
Gilbertie
Aunt Ruby's German Green

Great list and thank you so much.
Sam

Please send a SASE with your list, I'll be happy to fill it.

I update the list a few times a week so it is always up to date.

Trudi -

What a generous offer! I hope I am not too late to get in on it. I will be putting my list and envelope in the mail tomorrow. Thanks in advance and BLESS YOU!!!

Hello Trudi!

I will have my list in the mail tomorrow as well! I hope its not too late for everything on my wishlist! I really want to try the tomatoes you got from the USDA!

- Benny

count me in i will send my invalopes tomorro.thanks gardeningbingo.

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Hi ,i would love to have some tomatoes too please. Thanks. sending you an email.Chris

Trudi -
If this offer is still in effect I would appreciate some seeds. My list goes off tomorrow. Thanks!

I don't know if this list is still in effect but I would love to try growing some new varieties this year. Thanks for doing this!

WinterSown.Org exists on the net 24/7/365. Everything is good to go.

Bumping this up as there seem to be several new members who are either tomatoholics, or they are well on their way to becoming very addicted.

Sue...an admitted tomatoholic, and an assistant enabler here You rock Trudi!

Bless you Sue.

Once this post hits 150 I will post it again!

All I ask is a two-stamp long envelope with a list of your first choice six varieties and a default list of four other choices. This list changes frequently as varieties are exhausted and new ones added to replace them. The four defaults are really important; I don't want anyone to feel disappointed if any of their first six have been exhausted between the time the SASE is mailed and it arrives.

On my end I will send back the seeds padded with bubble wrap enclosed in a brochure with info on how everyone can quickly save their own tomato seeds without fermentation in a manner that will help prevent the spread of exterior, seed-borne tomato diseases. Fermentation is a process that takes several days--with this new method you are over and done with it in 35 minutes AND you get a half hour break in there too! You will need a bowl, water, Ajax or Comet, a sieve and the bulb of a turkey baster--most of us already have that in our kitchens so it's not going to cost a nickel.

The tomato list has all manner of sizes, shapes and colors and a few blends. Because the list is long (over a hundred choices) it can be overwhelming to make selections--especially if you're new to growing toms from seed.

I will be happy to make appropriate selections (my choice) for anyone who wants/needs that; simply send the two-stamp long SASE without a seed list and I will automatically know to select tomatoes for you.

T

PS...

Please do not send a bubble/padded mailer. Send a two stamp long envelope. I will provide the padding on this end.

Please do not use metered postage, it can only be mailed from the issuing zip code.

To see the brochure info please use the link below and click on the 'Scrub Girl' to advance the pages.

Here is a link that might be useful: Online version of the tomato cleaning brochure.

I want to participate. Thank you so much.

Sending you e-mail.

This offer is still good.

Please do NOT send bubble mailers, instead use a long SASE with two first class stamps attached.

Trudi

emailing you

Trudi,

Thank you so much! I got my seeds, and was like a kid at Christmas!

Renee

If anyone needs tomato seeds please use the link at the top of this post--that way I don't get extra emails ;-O

Thanks,

Trudi

Trudi,

What a wonderful person you are to share your tomatoes. I looked at your list and it is too much for me to pick from. I am hoping to take you up on the offer for you to choose for me :) Anything you wish to send to me will be ok. I will address and mail the envelope this morning!

thank you so much!!
If you ever need some seeds I will be happy to send to you as well. I will try to harvest my tomatoes this year.

I put the envie in the mail and forgot to add my Gw name. Sorry, I tried to catch it but it was gone already (mailed from work)

So if you get an envie with no note inside it is from me. I live in IL.

thanks!
Karen/ karendee

Okay Karen, that's okay ;-) As long as it has an address on the SASE the seeds will get to you.

thanks so much Trudi! you are so nice doing all of this!!!

Karen

Yes mamma, I was wondering if you were still doing ths great thing for people if so we would love to have what you have to offer. I am just starting my garden with my two little girls and she loves picking tomatos, so if you have any you would make her very happy. And Thank you in advance for your time.

I still help out people Jayce, just use the link above and follow the instructions.

Trudi

Hi Trudi,
Rodents destroyed all my tomato, pepper, eggplant, squash seeds. If you still have seed available I am interested in the following for SASE. Some of the lost seed was just obtained from you and I was eager to try them, like Isis Cherry and Dad's Barber's Paste. Here is my list and please let me know if they are available.
Sincerely,
Sonbie

DadÂs barberÂs paste
Black Sea Man
Isis Candy cherry
Rose de Berne
Caspian pink
Russian Persimmon
alts
Speckled Roman
Goji faranji
Morgage lifter
San Marzano

I'm not sure what list you're looking at. I took Black Sea Man off the list nearly a month ago, Isis Candy and Mortgage Lifter were both exhausted and removed from the list yesterday afternoon.

Please look at the list again and replace those three--otherwise you're going to receive more replacements that you expect ;-)

Hi Trudi, I wasnt sure if I was supposed to post here too but I sent an envie last week ;-) I hope you received it ;-) Thanks so much for this great offer !

~Iris

Hi Iris,

It's not needed to post here.

I dropped about fifty of these into the mailbox last night--all tomato SASEs that came through the week are filled and mailed.

Your seeds are on the way!

Hi Trudi,

Thanks for the offer. I am wondering if there are any still available? thanks!

dawn

'Your Choice Tomato SASE' is a permanent fixture of WinterSown.Org.

Thanks Trudi on the correct list and I will send out a SASE with my new choices. You are such a dear to organize these seeds and make them available to us.
We love you!
Sonbie
