Hey Mossy! Here's a link to the blue tomatoes seed:

Nice one pop I did however go and check they wasn't any GM in them, I went to an Organic site and yes they are legit that makes me happy.

Why did I go and check, well apart from not wanting GM in my garden, a year or so ago I saw blue, green and black strawberries advertise and after reading up on them, I discovered they were GM through and through.

Any thoughts of buying the seed was quickly chucked out.

Fancy restaurants in London however didn't care they were GM and were putting them on dessert and were selling them for a huge mark up.

These are genuine strawberries well frankenstrawberries to be correct.

How to grow tomato from seed

Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost, plant out 1–2 weeks after last frost. Requires bottom heat for good germination. Pot up to 3-4” pots when first true leaves develop, bury to first leaves. Gradually harden off in full sun 1–2 weeks before transplanting after last frost. Transplant out stocky 8 to 10” tall plants. Apply super phosphate for high early yields and to avoid blossom-end rot. Too much nitrogen causes excessive vegetation. If fruit cracks, reduce watering. Indeterminate varieties are trellised, fruit ripens over an extended period. Prune to one leader pinching suckers in leaf axles every 7 to 10 days. Thirty days before last frost prune leaders to ripen remaining fruit. Determinate or bush varieties do not need pruning or trellising. Soil pH 4.3-6.6. Hardiness zones 4.

Days from maturity calculated from the date of transplant. Average 8,400 seeds per ounce. Federal germination standard: 75%. Usual seed life: 4-10 years. Isolation distance for seed saving: 75-150 feet.

Planting Depth 1/4”
Soil Temp. Germ. 70-85˚F
Days to Germ. 6-10
Plant Spacing 24-36”, 14-20”
Row Spacing 5’, 4’ trellis
Days To Maturity 75-90
Full Sun, Moist Well Drained

tree tomato

i planted 5 seed called a tree tomato

[TD="colspan: 2, align: center"] [h=1]SIGNATURE TOMATO SEED[/h]

[/TD]

[TD="colspan: 2"] My Tomato Tree...also known as Tree Tomato is astonishing and belongs in everyone's Vegetable Garden.
I've grown them and have seen the stem be as large as the diameter of a small fruit tree. My average one grows 12' to 15'..but I've seen them in my garden reach 20'+.
Talk about saving $$$? You can get over a Bushel of Tomatoes from each plant. [/TD]
