@Cornelius_Gotchberg Last of the season???

[Cornelius_Gotchberg]

Last of the season???

Not a world in which you's want to live, am I right?

Anywho, last of THOSE varieties; still have some Orange Accordions and Young Stickler Crosses, which are firm as firm can be and should last a few more weeks.

This season was a HORRIBLE for Mountain Merits, which store/last the longest. If we get garden Tomatoes for BLTs up until the week of Thanksgiving, it's been a good year.

A bit jealous. I have a single fruit left that I am saving for my grandma in the nursing home tomorrow. Next year I hope to freeze dry slices. I did purchase a grow tower so I can at least have some items inside during the winter. I am already dreaming of the 2025 garden and what magical items might appear at my door for participating in the MMMM. Enjoy and saver those goodies!

Don't you worry. I put up my own seed offer of competition seeds in January. These and some other fantastic ones will be offered for a SASE then.

I would not call these seeds a cross as the Young was a child of the Stickler and not pollinated by it what so ever. I would call it the Young Strickler Competition Tomato.

If your online wish list matches your sent in written list, you might be the only one to have done that.

The one time in my life I might have done something correctly.

For now. You, and the rest of us, haven't seen what's coming in, yet.

[MissS]

@Homegrwoninillinois Not all of us declare what they are sending in. I don't. After all, it is called the Mostly Mystery Mater Mailing.

[Homegrwoninillinois]

@MissS

I didn’t put what I was sending in unless someone requested it. Otherwise my lips are sealed (my mom would also say this is a first for me)
