Wow factor, need for seed

Fusion_power · July 22, 2015

I was gathering tomatoes yesterday for seed.

She was fully grown, large, very richly flavored and juicy. I exclaimed WOW aloud when I saw her. Greed was in my eyes, I wanted her so much. Then I looked and saw her 4 sisters waiting on the vine, pretty as identical quintuplets, untouched by the vicissitudes of my garden, no fruit worms, no bad places, just these huge incredibly attractive ripe red tomatoes each weighing over 2 pounds. I grabbed her and pulled and saw she was not yet ready to turn loose so I pulled harder and saw her stem pull away leaving her in my hands. I used my knife to slice off her bottom and held her over a cup as I squeezed until her seed and juice came rushing out. This I did for each of her sisters in turn until my cup ran over and I was standing there licking the last which was as good as the first. Neves Azorean Red

I meandered down the row and stopped in front of a dusky lady, perfectly sized, perfectly formed, dark, luscious, and mysterious. I held her in my hand admiring her beauty thinking how much I was blessed to have such a lady in my garden. Then I sliced her bottom off and held her over a cup and squeezed. Her juice and seed flowed rich and dark deep burgundy red into the cup until she was empty, forlorn, and tossed aside. Her children will grace tables in years to come as I grow them and admire them in their turn. Carbon

He was a thing of beauty, a handful by any measure, bright orange, full of promise. His brothers were there with him on the vine all blushed by the sun and ready for my hand to pull. I remember tasting the tartness and slight creamy flavor as I sliced him and squeezed his seed into a cup. His children will reach for the sun though unable to leave the earth they grow from. Earl of Edgecomb

I collected 28 varieties for seed yesterday. These were a few that struck my fancy.

Ha ha Salix, that reminded me of a cute little book called 50 sheds of grey....

In fact, Fusions post reminded me of that book too. Good one Fusion!

Yes, absolutely.. not even a comparison. That's why I said 'True Love and Passion' - instead of trash!

I won't squeeze them They are too tender.
Remember the Charmine commercial ? hehe

I spoon the seeds out gently w/ a tea spoon.
Be nice to your TOMATAs. Those girls are pregnant.

Good description Fusion. Brought a smile to my face.

And love the Fifty Shades of Tomato, Salix.

Tomato Porn for sure!

I guess that I am the only one that has not read Fifty Shades of Gray or seen the movie. I am not saying that I don't have the book because I do. I bought it merely on the title thinking that it was geared to my age bracket. When I got it in the door, my daughter informed me that it was porn. She told me that she would let me read it if I wanted to.

After reading reading this post and just dyeing from laughter, I am going to have to sneak a peak at this book.
