Hooray! Can't wait to see it!

Gary, thank you so much! And thank you everyone for sharing.
Happy Tomato Growing!

Don't start dancing, yet.

You're also in the bean swap (tomatoes in same package), which gets sent after the tomato swap is done.

Gary

Hehehe, so excited! At least I know it's getting closer. Thank you so much Gary. Hope you had a wonderful holiday without dreaming of tomatoes and beans. :)

*giggle* Ok, Gary. I'll just dance a little slower, so that I don't wear myself out too much. =P

Have a fantastic weekend!

Gary ~ I received my package of tomato seeds and appreciate the seeds.

Gorgeous harvest, Dawn!

Those are some beautiful tomatoes!

Thanks Erica and Sdambr! Gary got me hooked on tomatoes a couple of years ago and now there's no going back. The different shapes, colors, and flavor are incredible! Last year between my neighbor's garden and mine we grew over 45 different varieties.

Received my package. Wow! I got all my wishes and tons more! Many I never heard of. This is my first swap ever and it is incredible!
Dmkelly, they are indeed beautiful tomatoes!

That's about 2/3 of tomato participants. Those also in on the beans will be later. The few southern gardeners left (tomatoes only) will be sent their packages very soon. Then I need to inventory what's left, before packaging the rest.

Gary

I would like to join too, but I don't know how. Please advise

While it's too late to send anything in, send me an email with a list of about 15 varieties. If you do not want specific varieties, let me know what types of tomatoes, and how many different ones, you'd like. I'd most likely be sending you the varieties that I still have alot of, as many varieties are running low, as I near the end of the swap.

Do not route your email through Gardenweb.

My package arrived and, much to my wife's dismay, Gary had delivered in a big way with a bounty of tomato seed. I don't think I will every have to acquire new cultivars again.

Thanks, Gary!

I received my package Saturday. It is awesome I didn't know that there were that many differant tomatoes I am going to have a lot of fun planting,eating and sharing these tomatoes.

Thank You Gary

Can't wait until next years swap....hopefully by then I'll have put a dent in to my collection of stored seed. :-)

Hoping a package is headed towards Indiana....soooo excited to check out the new varieties this year.

Can "billingsdj"? post or email me. I cannot find your wish list.

Only about 3 more tomato only participants to go. Then, about 15 tomato and bean ones. That may take a week or two (some long non-alphabetical wish lists).

Gary

Email sent

I know almost nothing about tomato varieties but my interest is piqued reading this thread. I will definitely be trying out this swap next year. And if you happen to have room in my bean envelope, and happen to have some stray tomato seeds left from this swap, I would love to try a few!

Gary

received my seeds and just wanted to say "Thank you!" (and thank you to everyone who sent in seeds). I am overwhelmed by the amount and variety in this package! My wish list was pretty vague but it was fulfilled ten-fold!

I am incredibly excited to grow a bunch of these out this year (and hopefully some others) and I look forward to helping out other newbies next year!

Gary. Hi. Thank you for doing this swap. I'm a bit confused on your comment. Did i send in too many or not enough? Thank you

Too many, or not enough, is your call when you get your package. :)

Gary, i received the wonderful envi full of seeds. I can't wait to find the time to sit down and go through all of them. Looks like I'll need to do some researching too. Thank you again for taking the time to do this trade.
Take care, Becki

Going out today...

CA L Su - again I don't know if this is too few, just right, or too much. Your call. :)

CA E Br - tomatoes only (beans when I get to them)

Make that tomatoes, and mostly what may be inedibly hot peppers.

I just received my pack from Gary. It's absolutely amazing. Thank you so much, Gary, for all your hard work and for the marvelous seeds!

To everyone who participated, thanks for the great seeds you all shared. Also, don't forget to leave a few kind words for Gary on the Rate & Review forum, if you were happy with the swap.

Here is a link that might be useful: Gary's Rate & Review Link

Meanwhile, about 20 people are waiting on their bean bonanzas. I hope they don't rate me, for just a bit longer. Going out today (tomatoes and beans), as also posted at the Bean, Pea, and other Legume thread...

Erica, don't start dancing, yet. :)

Gary -- Lol. I'm only about half-way done sorting/organizing/cataloging the tomato seeds I just got from you. I can't plant beans until March anyway, so take your time. Thanks again for all your hard work. I love the tomatoes I got. I'm sure I'll love the beans too!

Yahoo... I see my name... Thank you Everyone! Have a great weekend and here's a pic of tonight's sunset from my backyard to enjoy :)

Hi Gary,
I received my packet of tomato and bean seeds today. I'm thrilled with the selections I've got. Thank you so much for your efforts! Almost all of them are new to me and many I have not heard of. I'll be busy researching them. Luckily it's weekend and I don't have to wait long to work through the pile of seed packets. With so many varieties, I'll have a hard time to decide which ones to grow this year.
Thanks everyone for sharing the seeds!

It's not over til it's over. Mary E.

I am confused, have they all gone out?

I need to join a tomato swap:(

Message from Gary

For cottonwood468 - Should I send to the Chicago address, or the other one? The package will most likely go out on Monday.

For sea_kangaroo - I need her mailing address.

(She received the wrong package. But, because of her unique wish list (ones that no one else wanted) I still have about 30 wish list varieties for her. I have no idea if my email contact info is still available on Gardenweb)

For pink iris - Her package will go out Monday.

(and that wraps up the tomato/bean swaps, 125+ participants, 12,500+ packs of seeds)



Thanks
Gary

Send cottonwood468's package to the Chicago address ... even if you sent it to the MG address, I would still get it. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for asking. Mary E.

A little hiccup from the laptop there. I meant to say thank you for all your work, I know you had fun but will be relieved to get to the end of it. Mary E. and no my last name doesn't start with E, does it?

Did Gary say it is on again?

Mary -- I sent you a message.

The 2016 swap page for Tomatoes, Peppers and Legumes is up. :)

Fantastic! Thanks so much!

How do we joub?
