i also asked camo for seeds but he said he dont send out seeds any more but told me where he got them and i also googled the phone number and she said she didnt have verry many but sent 6 seeds anyway and also sent some danas dusky rose seeds.in return i told her i would do seed production for her and send some seeds back.she also said she didnt think german johnson benton strain would do verry good down in the south.but if it did good for you marsha then i might have some good luck also.im also going to graft mine to see if it lives up to the hype

i forgot to add the quote

It did really well for me.

I really hope everyone that I give GJ-Benton too has great results, and really really hope you all will pay it forward. It's too good fir a prima donna to brag about it, then not share seeds!
OK, rant over!

Thank you for sharing seeds of this variety. I have been wanting too grow it for a few years now, and did not have a source to get seeds till now.

On a side note, the "prima donna" (not something that I would refer him as) that brags about the GJ-Benton strain and is no longer willing to share seeds, has been very generous to many people by sending them many varieties of seeds over the years. I think he just became frustrated within his own reasons, and that is his prerogative. We need to respect that. He has given many people a chance to grow some of his much highly touted tomatoes. And I am grateful to have exchanged a few seeds with him over the past so many years. It is what it is, and I always will appreciate the lovely contributions he has made in many forums we frequent and we are members of.

See, you have been here since 2007, I have only been here since 2011, and he was not sharing by then. That is all I have ever known of him. I am glad he used to be more generous. I never saw that side of him, the side I see is decidedly different than the generous one.
Let's agree to disagree, OK?
Hopefully we will still be friends too, because this isn't worth a falling out over at all at all at all.

That is quite something Marsha. You planted that in September right? Is that normal in your climate to still be alive after this time? Surprising to me
