I haven't seen seeds for Cleota Pink (mentioned in the wish list thread) in more than a decade.

I haven't seen seeds for Cleota Pink (mentioned in the wish list thread) in more than a decade.

I just ordered some Cleota Pink, I hope they are the real deal Cleota Pink, but the standard 20+ seed pack from Delectation of Tomatoes. I also ordered the others previously on my 2024-2025 wish list excluding Bolgarskoe Chudo since I didn’t see Bolgarskoe Chudo on Delectation of Tomatoes inventory.

Delectation of Tomatoes say their Cleota Pink seeds are Cleota Pink -- Fresh 2022

I bought some seeds for Cleota Pink in Dec'23 from an online shop here in Canada. If I manage to have a garden for 2025, I will attempt to grow it and send in seeds.

@Tormato i have a large amount of cards with matching envelopes that are on the larger size but still mail for a single stamp. Would it be helpful if I send these (maybe 50? Not sure how many people participate) with my submitted seeds? I can include bubble wrap or foam in each card. It might make it easier to mail out the 10-15 kinds of seeds from wish list before the large packages. USPS sells a roll of 50 stamps. Maybe people can add an extra $1 to the package shipping return to cover the envelope stamp.

It's probably best to wait until the fall, and to then see the response to your list of flower seeds. I use plain small envelopes, and card stock on each side of seed packs, taping seed packs toward the middle of the card stock, so that seeds are not crushed by the postal system's high-speed rollers, which go across the tops and bottoms of letters. I rarely use any padding.

I'll already be requesting roughly $1 more in postage, as postage rates last year went up, to exceed the $5 requested. The extra money will cover that, and the early letters to be mailed out containing tomato wish list varieties only. Perhaps I'll be squeezing some of your flower seeds into those tomato wish list envelopes.

May I ask that if you are participating in the full package of the MMMM that on your wishlist also mention what categories of seeds you would like to receive? I have some “bonus” seeds that are only enough for one or two people per variety, but if I am already separating seeds for your wishlist and putting your username on them, I can throw in some types I don’t have listed in the spoiler. Such as beans, peppers, the categories of tomatoes in the swap, etc.
