Where can I find the list for the MMMM swap?
Welcome to the Friendliest Gardening Forum, Let's grow together!!!

There are several lists in the MMMM sub-forum.

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.
It's good to target anything not on the lists.Wembley wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 3:42 pmHello @TormahtoTormato wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2024 11:09 pm

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 ?
Ok. Yes. I did not check yet if I have got varieties that are not on the lists at all.Tormato wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2025 10:09 amIt's good to target anything not on the lists.Wembley wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 3:42 pmHello @TormahtoTormato wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2024 11:09 pm

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.
