A bit afraid that both the the slicer cukes and much of the maxima tasty mix may come from me this time because when the box reached me there was neither of those and I added them, …unless Finland right after me added some. So I wonder how they will do for you. Completely different climate. Couldn’t be more different. But fast they will be for sure!
we will see! Cucumbers and maximas are normally done by july in my climate, so if they will produce before they’ll be winners!

are the winter pepos also from you? The “carrots”?
Also the slicers grew in a mixed patch, but the parents are slicers so I added that separately.
Slicers are generally slower than pickling cukes, prob due to fruit size, and also have much fewer seeds, so any that gave me seed I was able to share is fast af by definition.

I packed summer pepo that turn orange and sweet in storage, and double as winter pepo. Project is converging, but not quite there yet. Possibly from me, yes.
This is the downside of how we merge seed bags into one. You loose track. I added stuff w massive, detailed labeling but separately on top of the pack due to both lack of time and because it was convenient for both Matt and Roosa to take ”Northern” seeds and know that they are Northern. I asked them to merge it down downstream. So they likely got relabeled. But I find it very unlikely that Finland added cukes after me, especially slicers, also because Matt had explicitly asked me to add cukes. There was also no maxima whatsoever in the box I received, so if Matt didn’t add any then the entire grex is from me.
Great for me, I saw the level of diversity you were growing, so there should be a chance for me to at least get seeds to replant next year.

I’ll be following tour thread with even greater than normal interest. Of course I want to know if ”Northern” just means so robust and diverse that it can de well even in Mallorca. Like tepary beans are usually grown in hot and arid climates but there is research documenting extreme cold tolerance as well. So, at least for some crops, extreme tolerance in one direction often (but not always) means extreme environmental tolerance in whatever direction outside the normal range.

I’ll make sure to take lots of photos during the growing season.
Were the runner beans also from you?

This one is from @Bruno, good taste, selected over years for thin skin + long conservation.

What does it look like and how big does it get? Just so I can recognise it in the mix.
I found some seeds called Mixta in the box that I think were from you, is that correct?
