Seed Circle Number 10 - Tomato Treat 2012

[Sylvan]

I too have Gardeners Delight and Moneymaker coming out of my ears (and Moneymaker are vile!)

[binley100]

I've already sent mine in and hopefully they've been received .......Haven't done a germination test so fingers crossed they'll be ok .

[SarzWix]

I said that about MM & GD as the initial post has been amended to add them at #26

I've hopefully also got enough viable 'Purple Plum' seeds to share after going through my box of 'ripeners' - the ones I brought home to ripen - I've just scooped all the seeds into a seperate jar to ferment, so hopefully most of them will be viable. They're a really nice tomato

I also thought we'd agreed not to have them but what do I know

[Jeanied]

Just sat and bagged up 25 little bags of Matina - two seeds per pack! They are good early toms though so worth the try.
And to compensate for not having any white Oxheart I have bagged up 25 bags of Sweet Pea currant - three seeds to a bag - which make little diddy plants suitable for a hanging basket and kids love them!

These are being sent to Davey when I get to the post office on Monday.

Popped my seeds in the post today.
25 packs of each...
Ukraine Kibits (earliest of them all, nice small 2ft plants)
Hahnstown Yellow (medium sized yellow cordon)
Yellow Pear (striking pear shaped and nice and sweet cordon).

Between 5 and 10 seeds of each type.

Enjoy - can't wait to get sowing some of these new varieties, but will have to sit tight for a few months yet. :-(

so are there stil 25 people in this circle?

As nobody has said otherwise I am assuming that there are still 25. Any extra packs in the end can go to the VSP, or wherever else, and it didn't really affect me as I had enough for 5 to 10 seeds each.

However it would be good for people struggling to get more than 2 seeds each to be able to bulk up their submissions.....

And Soladragon hasn't even been on the Vine since August.

Dirtgirl not since June

Flowertot not since August either.

So that's 3 that probably won't be participating.

Quite a few others haven't posted in ages...

A quick show of hands might be worth while, 25 is a lot when it's been a rubbish year and some are struggling with the amount of seeds to go around. Just checked another grape - super trowel hasn't been on since July!

Oops! Sorry, that grape not in this circle!

[Thelma Sanders]

Well, I'm still in with Rio Grande

[Scarlet]

And me! Mine should be in the post early next week

[Matt94]

Yep I'm planning on posting mine off on Monday

[zazen999]

At the moment - there are 17 people who have recently confirmed that they are 'in'.

[zazen999]

Right - I've dropped a few as I was never going to be able to make 25 bags. I've done the Heritage mix and Darby Striped.
