Was someone talking about the blue tomatoes?

brokenbar · February 15, 2011

I had a friend who emailed me today that two sellers were offering the "Blue" tomato on Ebay (Carolyns ABSOLUTELY favorite seed source!

) I wondered if someone here knows these growers?

One listing says "UP FOR BIDS IS 25 REAL BLUE TOMATO SEEDS . THESE ARE STABLE SMALL FRUIT THAT PRODUCE YUMMY RIPE RED (AND BLUE ) THEY TURN BLUE WHEREVER THEY ARE EXPOSED TO THE SUN . THESE TOMATOES ARE GREAT FOR BREEDING STOCK FOR TOMATO BREEDERS." Listed by go4Campbell

And the other seller is "J& L Gardens. I figured Carolyn might know who they are. I remember someone on here saying that people were not supposed to do something with blue seed they had gotten from a particular source? What is it with "blue" stuff??? Orchid growers have been trying for years to breed a true blue as have the daylily people. I just don't get it... But then again, I don't get the "black" tomato hoohah either...
