Seed Circle 6 Tomato Treat 2011-2012

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Yes still on track but will make a final decision when I taste some of the tomatoes. Don't think I put in blueberry seeds, the plants are very sulky (especially in comparison to the OSU Blue which are thriving)

[zazen999]

Is everyone still on track for this circle?

Yup - absolutely. As one of my schools is closing and they are growing lots of bush toms there should be a few spare plants I can nurture after the summer hols and harvest seeds from.

[Gearoid]

Yep. Yet to decide on my second one, waiting to see which ones perform best.

[bishop]

yup all looking good will update my list at weekend

[BroadRipple]

I know I found this too late but, as I'm a big tomato fan, I wondered if anyone who fancied joining and missed would like to do an informal seed swap with me...though I haven't done this before so not sure how it works.

[Davyburns]

Yes, although I dont have a cherry type....how many varieties is the min?

Well, we were hoping for 2, but I'll happily go along with the consensus

[Davyburns]

I haven't done this before so not sure how it works.

Basically it works as the name implies. 16 of us save seeds from 2 tomato types, who then send them on to me, along with a stamped addressed envelope big enough to hold 30 small packets of seeds, then I redistribute them. Simples!

[kiwirach]

i am going to have to withdraw from this swap as i am having to give up my allotment.

[Davyburns]

Thats OK, hope its not a serious reason your having to give it up

[kiwirach]

i cant get to it anymore.....my car went to the big scrapyard in the sky and i dont live an easy walk/bus ride from it, so have made the sad decision to give it some one else. I'll try growing in pots/growbags next year, subject to where i move next may!.

[Davyburns]

Best of luck for next year then!

[Davyburns]

If Binley and Brad1001 are still interested in joining, we have space now

[Davyburns]

can members tell me how many of each type of seed they are expecting?
I am starting to save the seeds now, but I havn't a clue how many I need

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

I don't know how many I'll be saving as I do not have any ripe toms yet. Do we need more than 5 or 6 seeds of each type? I'm only planning on growing one plant from each variety I get

[Newton]

In by the skin of I hope........
