It looks like it probably was full. I've cleared my inbox.

Regret to say that, in spite of my self assurance, I later concluded it was a seed labeling error! :oops: These things can and do happen when you're saving a lot of varieties' seeds. One way it can happen is if the fruit from two plants looks similar - then the carefully labeled jar or dish was mismatched in the first place - probably the source of my error. :evil:
This has happened to me several times, now I carry a magic marker and mark every tomato and pepper as I harvest them. I use the cheap vinyl window blinds for markers and use a paint pen. Just the fact of starting something new can be intimidating to a new gardener, and sometimes to an old one. I'm speaking mainly for myself here. Been doing this for many years and learn something new every year, usually from mistakes that I have made.

Gave a friend several different plants one year. He called and said that one was too ugly to eat so I went and collected several. I grow them every year and have no idea what they are. Good tasting pink PL tomato. I saved them as: John's Ugly PL.
A PL pink is not a tomato that I would reject, no matter its lack of beauty.

Ken,

If you'd like John's Ugly PL dispersed far and wide, please save and send me several hundred seeds.

Thank you very much Shule as always, by the way I sent you a private message.
Did I already respond to the message? I don't see it in my inbox. I wonder if my inbox is full.
Shule, this was from 2022.
