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!

Well, crap! I missed that post all together. Have already shipped my seeds with a handwritten request list, it will probably be frowned upon if I add it to my online lists and they no longer match :cry:

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 you hear about or know of any seed swaps in your area please lmk. As we are only 2 hours apart by car. My area doesn’t have much.

Yes, thank you so much @MissS ❤️

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

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

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) 🤣
