Tomato Seed Circle 2016

[Scarlet]

Hi if possible I would like to join the Seed Circle - I will be saving Red Robin and 100s&1000s

I think Lisa is saving 100s & 1000s so you may need to substitute with something else.

[Scarlet]

I've got some Berkeley Tie-Dye popping up - would they be OK to add in too? Did't sow Lima Korai in the end.

Yes ive added them to the list...fingers crossed for a long summer. If it's anything like the black and brown boar/blonde boar varieties they need a long growing season.
I've sown Lima korai so I'll save that.

I didn't realise that the rules were that flexible, I assumed I'd have to have 50 posts before I could ask to join. By the time I've got my seeds, I'll definitely have 50 posts. So, can I join please.

Proposed contribution: Summer Cider and Red Zebra (but of course that could change)

Sorry, I didn't spot the Summer cider yesterday, NG has already bagged that one to save although that may change could you look at something else just incase..

Hi Mark you can do Summer Cider it is not a prob. I have a fair few other choices. However I think I know you from elsewhere - if so I should imagine you doing another variety isn't an issue and my seeds came from you originally If I am completely wrong then ignore the latter part

Running that seed circle will be one of the (very) few things I'll miss!

It would have been strange without you but after the childish behaviour finished with deleting an entire thread after I made a comment (nothing nasty just I felt Mod comments were inappropriate) I have no interest in being there

Anyhoo I really shouldn't be in this circle again. In the last 2 days I have sown 28 varieties and I had sown 10 more(ish) varieties weeks ago. I haven't a ruddy clue where I am putting them and it is everyones fault from the last tom circle

[vixylix]

As per the chilli circle I am hoping to save from all (or maybe I should say hedging my bets!) so I can be flexible - but probably golden queen, tumbler, tigerella, tamina, venus or pomodoro

We have no idea what has caused the upset and migration to the Vine, but, I wish you'd stop mentioning inappropriate Mod comments, as I keep thinking its me in trouble (again)

[Nicos]

^^^^ isn't that why you have a specific norty step reserved for you?

VC I love your inappropriate Mod comments the vine just wouldn't be right without them.

It's important to have a supply of fresh seed in

It's good to know what other peeps are growing so we can have alternatives ready if need be.

OK - Let me see what comes up because at the moment I have sown 22 different varieties but they appear to be really slow germinating for some reason (not warm enough in the unheated greenhouse during the night I suspect)

[Scarlet]

Yes, much too cold to germinate in the GH at the moment. Not sure where you are but I've not seen a night above 9*c for several weeks and I'm in the South West.

Lisa may well be able to come up with an alternative if you are struggling (I know she has a few on the go) so alls not lost yet.

[jackarmy]

Yep, im happy with that Scarlet.
