For Every Packet You Take Out to Plant...You Need to Replace it with 1(One) of Your Own Varieties.
Please...Do Not Duplicate Tomato Seed Packets for Replacements for Trading Tomato Seeds. You Can Put in as Many Varieties as You Would Like but...Only 1 Packet of Each Variety for Trading.

The Round-Robin on Arrival will Contain:

1- Upon Receiving the Tomato Seed Round-Robin...
Please Post to this Thread that the Round-Robin Has Arrived at Your Location.
2- The Round-Robin Needs to be Kept Only 3 Days or Less and Then Mailed on to the Next Participant.
(This is to Keep the Round-Robin Moving onto at Least 1(One) Person Each Week. The Round-Robin Will be Traveling from Warmer Zones(South) to Cooler Zones(North)...So Everyone Will be Able to Plant Their Seeds in Time. If I Need to Send Multiple Robins I Will.
3- Please Make Sure Your Seed Packets are Sealed so that there Will be No Tampering to Any Offered Tomato Seed Packets.

(Now I Will be Leaving and Resting for Awhile...
This was More Work Than Any Round-Robin...
or Seed Swap I Have Ever Hosted........Enjoy!
Lelan, thankyou so much for doing this - I know it has been hard work. I'm really looking forward to receiving the RR - I have assembled over 20 what I hope are unusual varieties of toms to exchange.
Maggi xxxx
Is there any way of (miss)leading the International Round Robin to Greece???
I Would love to share in this RR ...
Last year, I grew 17 different tomatoes and I collected a lot of seed from thouse, wich I loved most!
Moreover, I have seeds from my mother in law from her "very best selection" of a flesh-tomatoe (wich is really the best tasting tomatoe I ever had). I selected my own coctail-tomatoes, wich grow faster, bigger and sweeter every year ... wouldn´t you like to have a trial???
Looking forward to your answer ... greets!
Lixi
Lixi,
Welcome to DG! - I assume you're new as I haven't seen you before.
I'd be happy to send the RR to Greece after me,(in Spain), and before Pat,(in Enland). However, I guess we should consult Lelan, the organiser, to check that this is ok. Would you like me to send him a Dmail, or do you prefer to send him one yourself?
Maggi xxxx
Good idea Maggi, I've no objections.
Pat
Thanks Pat. The only snag I see with this plan is that I don't get the chance to sample Lixi's mother- in- law's super tomato seeds - lol!
Maggi xxxx
Yes Everybody...
I Have Lixi Included in the Round-Robin.
I Sent Her an E-Mail a Few Days Ago and...
Just Got a Reply Today.
I Will Let You Decide Where She Fits in Best.
I Have Her Address.
Lelan.
That's great Lelan. Can you Dmail me her address and I will forward the RR to her from here? I hope you are getting a bit of a rest now - this baby, (well, triplets really), had a difficult birth.
Maggi xxxx
Maggi, I will share some with you as I don't need many. I've got your address.
Pat
Pat, bless you. I would love a few Greek tomato seeds if possible; I lived in Greece for three and a half years and their tomatoes taste wonderful!
Maggi xxxx
