UPDATE: Totally Tomatoes Thread for Sent Envelopes and Received

bonechickchris
15 years ago

This Thread is for you to track when I SEND your envelopes out for the Totally Tomatoes Swap.

This thread is ALSO for you to leave comments when you RECEIVE your envelope too.

Please let me know when you receive your envelope!

Usually with the Incredible Edibles/Heirlooms, we list what we got from our partners for others to see. However, since this swap is different than usual, I do not expect you guys to post every single tomato that you receive. But you can say what your favorites were or what variety that you got that you are excited to grow, etc. etc.

Thank you! Christy

    OH NO!! Earl, you are shaking the foundations of my sanity. Where I grew up it was Nyaah Nyaah, Nyaah Nyaah Nyaah (sort of Iambic Pentameter- see Mrs Porter, I did learn some of that stuff). It wasn't until I met my wife (well, she wasn't my wife when I met her) that I encountered this (blasphemous) neener, neener, neener thing. I think I was raised properly and feel your sentence should have been "Butt, Nyaah, Nyaah, I got my seeds today". (I'm not sure on the count on the "u's" and the "t's" in your spelling of "Buuuttt".

    And, yes Christy, while you are away working a bunch of us are having fun dancing around on your thread.

    I posted this already but it didn't take (Hmm...). I got my seeds today! Thank you so much, Christy. I really appreciate you working so hard to locate one of my wants. I'll grow it out and send you seed at the end of the season.

    I spent the weekend planting tomatoes seed that I had on hand. Today I received my package from this swap. I now have twice the amount to plant. So, next weekend will be filled with early planting also. Thank you for this swap. plantman50

    OHHH MYYY!!! I Got my SPECIAL Envie TODAY!!!!! There are so many different types of seeds...I didn't know there were that many I didn't have lol :) Got a BUNCH from my wish list!! This was a WONDERFUL treat!!!!!!

    Thank you SOOOO Much Christy!!!! In fact, there were two types in there that I had received from another trade...that didn't germinate! Not sure if they were killed in shipping or if they were poorly stored or if they were even old seed. Not sure as they were from a trade, but now I'm excited!!!!I was going to have to see if I could find them somewhere in a hurry, have been looking but nobody has them...but now I don't have to find them...YAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!

    Hey, Christy, you said you got my stuff out so tell him you're back! Take some time off and the two of you get happy (if you can keep that big bruiser you posted pictures of out in the pasture somewhere).

    Sorry y'all I'm just trying to keep Christy from burning out after a big Valentine's workout. I'm sure you are all as patient as I was. I'm very patient now that it's between me and the USPS and waiting for Christmas.

    Thanks, Christy.

    Hey Dan!

    I meant to tell you that you hit my son's self right on the nose! he is almost A year younger in that pic than he is now, but he is ripped and full of muscle. He is not skinny by no means, but has no baby fat. He has a six pack! What the heck? on a 3 year old?
    He has the most muscular legs, calf muscles are huge! he hops on his toes all the time! Really, I never saw such muscle definition on such a young kid! Really scary!
    He is the most loving child, and always kisses and hugs and loves, but when he plays with us, he kicks our butts!
    He truely beats us up without meaning it! It is crazy!
    So yes, you are totally correct on calling out my son! LOL!

    Now, I know you guys will really give it to me. My wedding anaversary was on the 8th. Did you know I fogot until the next day? But it was because I did not know it was the 8th when it was the 8th, I thought it was only the 5th.
    And my husband totally forgot all together. So how crazy! I am so good with dates, so it is really hard for me to believe that I did not know what day it was. I feel so awful. where is my mind? (well, it is in the tomato gutter!haha!)And then I had to work hard playing in Atlantic City on Valantines day and the whole weekend, so total craziness

    Anyway, I thought that would be a funny thing to bring up! I will give you all another update tomorrow!

    Hey all, been without a pc for the past two days. Just wanted to stop in with a big thanks to Christy and everyone else who sent in seeds. I got home Tuesday night and had decided I was going to plant half a flat of tomatoes under lights. Imagine my shock when I found a package from Christy in the mail! I didnt even know she had sent them yet! So, I planted them the same day I got them LOL. I had NO IDEA that I had over 60 varieties of tomatoes, I thought I had half of that. I planted one of each variety in my half flat, and still have over 20 packs unplanted. I dont know if I have room to plant more!! thanks so much guys, I loved everything!

    Whoo Hooo I received my envelope today! That thing set some sort of record getting here- I've had things mailed from 400 miles away that took 2 days- this was NJ to CA in 2 days. Great varieties, too. There's even one, Precoce Marmande, I was about to add to my wish list. Amazing. Thanks Christy and thanks to all of you great people with strange nicknames who joined in this swap.

    Christy,

    I received my envelope today. I don't know how you did it but I got so many from my wish list and so many more that would have been on my wish list had I known I wanted them before today! Thank you so much Christy and all you fellow swappers for helping make my wish list a reality. I know you don't know who you are but I do!!!

    Christy,

    I received my envelope. Thank you so much for the great selection you sent me. I truly appreciate the time and effort you took to make this exchange such a success. I salute you and all of the generous tomato crazy participants. I especially enjoyed the creative packaging some of you used. Christy, the extra hard to find varieties are treasures. A great swap, I'm glad I had the opportunity to be a part of it.

    Thanks again!

    Yeah, I sent your envelope out a long time ago ZZ, I have heard from others that the mail has been slow in certain areas. I sent a box out for one of the swaps, and it took almost 2 weeks to get there. And I went to the PO and everything so it would get there quickly.
    Now I sent an envelope to California, East Coast to West Coast, and it got there in 2 days. DOnt ask me how that happened?

    I received my seeds too, hurray for Christy! She did an awsome job, I'm nuts over tomatoes now , I've only learnt that there are more than 6 types of tomatoes in the world since Dec 31 -08 when I discovered everyone here on GW, and now I can say I have an honest to goodness collection of at least 50 tomatoes, they are my new best friends! Thanks to Christy and thanks to you all for sharing your tomatoes with me! Chris

    Grovespirit, I emailed you :)

    Joan and Barbi, I sent your envelopes out sometime last week, so I would think they would be there very soon. The mail has been wacky lately, I sent envelopes to from NJ to California and it took only 2 days! Now I sent an envelope to someone in Pennsylvania, which is only a couple of hours away from me, and it took a week and a half!!!!

    But please let me know when you do get them. If you dont get them by the end of the week, I will see if I can check on them in some way.

    Please, there are a bunch of people that I havr not heard from yet whose envelopes I sent out weeks ago. Please let me know that they got to you ok! Thanks!

    Hey! I started some tomato seedlings a week or two ago. They're coming up nicely. I went to a store yesterday that was a little out of my way to look at seeds and they were already SOLD OUT of tomato seeds! All of them! Glad I have my seed!

    Yay!! Now I can go remove a bunch of tomato varieties from my want list! :)

    Many thanks to christy for her generosity and her time!!
