I'm sending seeds to the MMMM swap, or PM me if you'd like some; I'm always happy to trade...

Thank you for your offer. I have Tiny Tim seeds. I haven't grown them yet.
I just mentioned this to my wife about an hour ago about the overwintering thing. There is one variety that I got from the MMMM swap that Tormato does. I saved seeds in 2015 for a tomato called Pinky Blast. All I learned about it was that it came from someone overseas (I don't remember the country.) I did grow it in 2015. Pinky Blast produces like some pepper plants do - with the fruit on top of the plants. Again, the plants are about 2 feet tall. I don't know if one would call those a dwarf plant. I like the term, "Micro Mini"
The tomatoes tasted okay. but that was during a year of record rainfall of over 73".
Without much information and a bad year to grow tomatoes in 2015 - it's my pet project to see what these tomato seeds can do. I used Carolyn's method to save the seeds, but the bad weather that year might have messed up the seed production? I won't know until I try.
