I am interested in Chocolate Cherry tomato and any "heart/hart" tomatoes. Also mild chilies...

I put these in, all commerical. All OP / Heirloom except the ornamental pepper

Tomato Bush "Green Zebra"
Tomato Bush "Silvery Fir Tree"
Tomato Pole "Aunt Ruby's German Green"
Tomato Pole "Black Krim"
Tomato Pole "Speckled Roman"
Tomato Pole "Brandywine Red & Yellow"
Pepper Sweet "California Wonder"
Pepper Sweet "Yolo Wonder"
Ornamental Pepper "Pepper on a Stick" commercial. ?hybrid?

As has been posted through out this thread, Heather is also going through 2 other gardening sites so if you list what you sent here, which I'm not, you wont have a complete list anyway : ). I made out a wish list but will be happy with whatever I get. I figure after we receive our seeds we can do trades if we need to.

Most of mine were from commercial sources. I wrote on the pkg. what company and the date issued, or if they were from a trade The only hybrid was Park's Razzleberry Hybrid, the rest are all OP. As far as I know, they are all heirlooms as well.

Evelyn-was Razzleberry good? I only grow o/ps but I may have to branch out. Lord help this is an addiction.

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder, that this is considered a surprise swap, so no master list will be posted. I do ask however, that you provide me with your wish list of seeds you may be looking for. I will do my best at my end to be fair to all concerned and try to fill wish lists as best I can.

If you did not provide your wish list in the envelope you sent in, could I ask you to send a private d-mail with your wish list as opposed to posting your wish list in this main thread. I have over 100 people participating in this swap, and I won't be able to scroll back over all the miscellaneous postings to see if a wish list may have been posted. I keep all notes from participants sorted accordingly.

Thanks so much everyone.

Today I received seeds from:

*Cajuninky
* Nisinj

Thanks....Heather

So glad they got there. I am really excited about this swap. I enjoyed it so much last year. Thanks for taking this on.

I'm glad this will be a Surprise Swap. Makes it that much more exciting!!!

I was disappointed with Razzleberry. It was very pretty, but rather average tasting...but maybe I was expecting too much. I always buy into the descriptions, except perhaps Laurels becasue ALL of hers are PERFECT, LOL! And I do like her alot. I got most of my seedlings from her before I started growing my own (and realizing that sellers' descriptions were, ummm, let'sfind a good word for this... How's over-the-top?)

Also, growing conditions play a big factor when it comes to taste. This summer the NE got a taste of Texas weather. I think where you grow your plants can really influence the taste. How anything grows here is a complete mystery to me.

All asparagus beans are now spoken for.

Heather, I would be interested in Asparagus Beans (foot long) if you have enough. Thanks

Heather ~ The seeds went out yesterday (global) priority mail.

Sequee ~ I have not yet tried the Razzleberry. I got them free included with a couple of Park Seeds orders. I kept one pkt. for myself and the other one has gone to Heather.

Lisa ~ You are so right about growing conditions...I planted out 3 square foot gardens of standard tomatoes and the ones that were planted first did so much more poorly then the ones that were planted later. I guess they did not like snow. I covered them, but the snow was very late..in May! Also they may have been missing one of the soil amendments that the later ones got, I will have to check my garden diary against the dates of the reciepts to determine that. I must learn to keep notes on everything, not just date planted. All good gardeners keep better records than I do. Maybe I will learn... The best tomato was over all the OSU blue as not only grew well but a "bumper harvest". (Still the one I planted in the first box barely grew. HMMMM.)

These last couple of years have been odd with atmospheric conditions. I would not automatically toss out anything I've grown during this time without trying it another time. I'm just really glad that my first few seasons weren't the past few seasons, or they might have been my last. Hard to put out so much effort, and feel like you're fighting a war each season.

That being said...Is it Spring yet???

OSU? _______________ State University?

I think that is Jim Meyers at Oregon State University who developed the blue tomatoes. (I went to another OSU but once did give a talk at a meeting in Corvallis--it's way out in the middle of nowhere!)

Oregon State University...sorry! There are many OSU's!

I am thinking to cross this one with a purple tomato, as the flesh of this tomato is red. It just gets a blue sunburn/sunblue?? (Not a suntan...for sure..)Where the sun does not strike it, it stays red....well green then red. A very interesting tomato for sure. I happen to like it because it is sweet, but others may find that it doesn't have enough of the "tomatoey" flavor. (...which is fine by me...)
