PaulF's Generous Offer of Tomato Seeds has been a Great Success!
PaulF's seed share offer has been a great success! He offered to share his tomato seed inventory with members of the site, and everyone was eager to take advantage. His plan is to list varieties he won't get around to growing or that are beginning to show some age. Paul will PM requests from a published list with addresses that won't be shared with anyone. The list will be edited daily (or more often) to reduce problems. After Thanksgiving weekend, Paul set up for Monday and added another 20 or so seeds. Granddaughter's hockey team won their way into the tournament finals, but Paul still managed to send out some goodies late Monday or Tuesday. Everyone was excited about the offer, even those who only wanted what was left over. Thankfully, every seed from the offer has been claimed, though an inventory hasn't been taken yet. Paul may take another look at what is in the basement storage area and let us know if there are others he can rid himself of.
PaulF's generous offer of sharing his tomato seed inventory has certainly been welcomed by many members of this site. It's a fantastic opportunity for gardeners to try different varieties that they wouldn't normally have access to. Not only does it provide an abundance of new options, but also helps Paul reduce the number of seeds he has in stock. His plan is simple: list the varieties he won't get around to growing or that are beginning to show some age, then PM requests from a published list with addresses that won't be shared with anyone. The list will be edited daily (or more often) to reduce problems. After Thanksgiving weekend, Paul set up for Monday and added another 20 or so seeds for people to choose from. Even when granddaughter's hockey team won their way into the tournament finals, Paul still managed to send out some goodies late Monday or Tuesday. Everyone was excited about the offer, even those who only wanted what was left over. Thankfully, every seed from the offer has been claimed, though an inventory hasn't been taken yet. We hope Paul takes another look at what is in the basement storage area and lets us know if there are others he can rid himself of. This is a wonderful chance for gardeners everywhere to expand their horizons and explore new possibilities with unique varieties of tomatoes!
