Free random seed offer for the non-picky [Closed]

If anyone in the USA wants me to send them a random assortment of tomato seeds, watermelon seeds, or muskmelon seeds then PM me. However, you don't get to pick what varieties you want within the species, nor what traits they have. You only get to pick between these options (not more specific within each option):

- tomato (possibly including wild tomatoes); I have lots of varieties; most are indeterminate (don't ask for determinates, dwarfs, or micros)
- watermelon; expect them to probably be cross-pollinated with similar varieties, potentially multiple times; most of them are supposed to be large-fruited watermelons
- C. melo; expect them to probably be cross-pollinated (with a higher probability of the varieties being dissimilar varieties)

I might include other species on top of the above, unless you tell me not to do so.

Remember, for this offer:
- Don't ask for specific kinds of tomatoes.
- Don't ask for specific kinds of melons, nor of watermelons
- Everything you get within the above species should be a surprise.
- Don't ask for my have-list.
- Your mailing address has to be in the USA.
- Most of the seeds are at least a few years old. (However, I haven't had trouble germinating my older tomatoes from seeds I saved myself.)
- You're free to re-gift the seeds if you don't want to grow them (but be sure to pad them when you mail them so it doesn't hurt germination)
- Edit: I only have three stamps left, so beyond that, you'll have to send an SASE (three stamps is till enough for one person, though). The number of stamps on your SASE may impact the number of seeds you get.

While all the watermelons and muskmelons that I'll send you probably /are/ unstable, I might even send you unstable tomato varieties—but I'll try to limit the unstable tomatoes to ones that I think will have desirable results for you. If the tomatoes are unstable it should say, F1, F2, F3 or so on on the package to say what generation they are, or else they'll have a hyphen close to the end of their name, followed by a letter, or a number-letter combination.

If you have a deadline for the seeds to arrive, please say so, and I'll try to do them faster.
