Update February 4, 2025
Between the Utah Farm and Food Conference (10 days of prep + travel + attendance time) and recently losing my part-time helper (HELP NEEDED NOW - see and share this posted Job Announcement), I am running uncomfortably far behind with filling seed requests, but I'm doing my best to catch up. I am attempting to significantly improve efficiency by processing many orders simultaneously, rather than one at a time. So, I have all labels printed (the most difficult and time-consuming step - see latest blog post for more insight), as well as all inventory seeds gathered (this was a 10-hour task) for all seed orders placed through yesterday (February 3rd) and much of the packaging completed for orders submitted through January 22nd. By Friday, February 7th, I should be just a few days behind. The Ogden Seed Exchange seed swap is coming up soon (February 22nd). This is the biggest event of the year for Delectation of Tomatoes; preparation is underway... The major task over the coming weeks and months is extracting seeds from nearly 2,000 batches of tomatoes, representing around 650 varieties. This task will hopefully be completed before April, 2025. Availability status, at least for tomato seeds, will be updated periodically at the "Tomato Seeds" Tab from the pull-down menu above. = = = = = Here's a link to an unsolicited, independent review of seeds ordered here: Delectation of Tomatoes SEEDS HAUL A big thanks to Jen and the time and effort she put into this - I really just never expect anything like this, and it wrecks havoc with my ego!
