Let the ★★★★★ing about our seed prices commence.
And the general dismissals of hybrids like Benevento Marmo, with suggestions of superior OP bicolor beefsteaks.

Worth it for growers. Gardeners who need an occasional spectacular bicolor beefsteak have many other good choices at much lower prices.
What Benevento Marmo has is consistently very good flavor and fruit quality, that is enhanced by long shelf-life and firmness that does not come at the cost of interior structure, texture and flavor. Benevento Marmo is that crazy tasty bicolor beefsteak a farmer can produce and store like Rebelski or any other great market hybrid.

Price is fair. Thank you for picking up some hybrid development, and best of luck with it from here.

Fred,
Your prices are well thought out and also well worth it. People that might disagree should just move along and keep that to themselves. The work you do for the "tomato world" is tremendous, and I (among many) appreciate it. Keep it up! Lee |

The price seems fair to me, considering all the work that goes into the development of anything new. And people will save seeds so you might as well get in the front of that and make sure you are compensated. I see you developed Blush which I am growing this year and I'm liking it quite a bit...my one plant is very productive. Sorry, just noticed it is a hybrid. Still, price seems fair... Everyone should check out the prices of newly developed dahlia's.

I don't complain, much, about seed prices.
It's not like some things, like commodities hard to get by without. This, coming from a cheapskate that once purchased the last two Better Boys at the local pop-up "greenhouse" and cloned suckers in order to have more plants. Young, recently married, and close to broke, Mama wanted to can tomatoes and beans. I wanted to please mama...and eat. Have learned many things over the last...uh, nearly 40 years. Including the fact that, even if those seeds were $2 each, I'd enjoy them more than $2 worth of adult beverages. Sent from my motorola edge (2022) using Tapatalk
