Helen, I saw a post a few years ago by Too Many Tomatoes talking about a tomato her grandfather had grown and how good it was and if anyone wanted any she would share some seeds. I requested some and understand I was the only one. She sent 30-35 seeds if I remember correctly along with the history. How a soldier returning from Japan brought some seeds to her grandfather and then how he selected it till he had a very good tomato. Due to the fact my growing conditions are so unpredictable and harsh I shared seeds with a few fellow tomato growing addicts so in case of a growing failure here some others with better growing conditions would be able to sample them and save seed. One being Camo. A great tomato grower and also person. He wrote some very glowing reports on it and now many want to grow it. The first summer none of mine ever produced mature tomatoes. This past summer it was one of the best I grew. It produced nice tasting tomatoes over a long period. I saved a lot of seeds. The controversy on Ebay was started by a lady I shared seeds with. She knew the name ect when I shared them. She sells seeds on Ebay. She came back and wanted to rename them. By that time seeds had been shared by several of the other growers I had sent seed too. And also this was the name this tomato had always been called. I hesitate to change names especially of a variety that is already in circulation. What happens is you will end up with the same variety being called 2 names. If you will email me I will add your request to my list. And promise to start filling requests shortly. I need to get some small baggies and then will start. If you want to know anymore just ask and I'll do my best to answer from what I know. Jay

Ok everyone....I have one packet of Spinach Tyee Hybrid to give away as a bonus. The person that wanted the last pack no longer wants it. Please let me know asap if you'd like this seed. Folks, please consider requests for bonus seeds a done deal as I have already stuffed the envelopes with the miscellaneous veggie bonus seeds that have were gifted and posted updates in all the forums. It's really not that easy for me change everything if you change your mind at this point Thanks

There are a few members in this forum, who signed up for the swap and have still not answered any followup emails/messages from me which requested an update. It is a massive task to keep track of everyone in this swap, and I didn't think I was asking too much to let me know if you've changed your minds and no longer want to participate - or to take a quick second to let me know your seeds are in the mail. I will not mention any names, but this is to notify those individuals, that I have no choice but to assume you are no longer in this swap. If your envelope arrives without any communication from you, it will be sent back "return to sender". I just wish you could have taken a second to send me a message....it would have saved me a great deal of time with followup. IF YOU HAVEN'T MAILED YOUR SEEDS, IT'S TOO LATE NOW...DON'T SEND THEM. Thanks to everyone who took a moment to keep me up to date by posting updates or sending me an email. Your communication makes this job of coordinating the swap, so much smoother. Thanks again.

MYSTERY SOLVED!!! Thank goodness! Well, that was not as bad as I thought it would be :) Hopefully, that will be the worst thing that happens. So everyone knows, yes, I will be sending out envelopes in batches according to who mailed their's in the soonest to latest. But, do not despair if you did not send yours in early, afraid that you will only get what is left over at the end of the pile. I have actually taken the time to work a bit on all the envelopes to make sure that everyone can atleast get a few of their requests if I have them. So know that just because you are not getting your envelope back at the same time as someone else, does not mean that your loot will not be as good as the person before you! :) YES, lots of time into this!!!! Hope that makes some of you late-bloomers more at ease! Christy
