@kdlund121 You can ask for any tomato that you like. It does not need to be on the current list as nobody knows what is still to come in. You can also ask for it and somebody just might have it in their stash and send it in.

The list is here

There are several lists in the MMMM sub-forum.

The Master List tomatoes and Master List peppers were both updated a couple of weeks ago. Many packages have come in since then, so they will be updated again, in a couple of days. I will NOT insert any new varieties into the previous lists. They will be added by new posts in their corresponding threads.

I'm overloaded with filling seeds requests, so I likely will not have time to update any other types of seeds. After all, it is a mostly mystery mailing. ;)

The Spoiler Alert thread will have some, but not all, of what is coming in for non-tomato/pepper seeds.

The X means the variety is no longer in the MMMM inventory. I am no longer deleting varieties from the lists, as it takes too much time to then add them back to the lists, in the future. If the variety comes back in, just deleting the X is faster.

I finally found my container of Italian/Paste/Plum/Canner category tomatoes, which has been misplaced for almost a year. So, many of the X-ed varieties on that list might be available.
Hello @Tormahto

I have been through the master lists and the varieties that are missing this year.
I have at the moment at least 3 varieties that are missing this year.
Is it a good idea to target this varieties and grow them in order to have plenty of seeds to send next year ?

Or do yo prefer to let it to chance ? :)

It's good to target anything not on the lists.

As for the missing ones on this year's master lists, that you have, have you done research on them, as to whether you actually want to grow them? When sending out packages, I usually include a "suggestion card" with a short list of varieties (from the ones sent) that would be greatly appreciated to be grown out and sent back in.

I do prefer to let it to chance, as too much organization would expose my errors. :oops:

Ok. Yes. I did not check yet if I have got varieties that are not on the lists at all.
Will do that :)

For example I am sure Figiel is on your lists .

Usually??? Nothing is usual about this swap.
