Thank you Luke for protecting such a rare variety. Thank God for people like you. I 100% agree with you and I would love to see this tomato thrive but when the time is right and only then.
How have the seeds grown so far? Did you get new harvests from them? Since it’s been a couple years. I wish I could try this tomato as it sounds like my idea of a perfect tomato and I’m picky on textures and acidity since I have stomach issues and have to watch that.
Ethics, without them we are lower than animals. Good for you Luke.
You SHOULD be the only one selling these seeds.
Dumb question: can tomato plants be cloned?
Protect those seeds. Keep it pure.
It is such a testament to your integrity that you have chosen to do things your way, no need to apologise or ask people to understand. 🙂
have you found and germinated any old/extinct hot pepper seeds,and if so,i would love to know possibly get some seeds,i love peppers,i dont have a large area,but i grow a few tomatos,peppers each year.
I have many old seed packets from the 1940's and your video has given me the courage to try and germinate and sprout these seeds. THANKS it was SO hard to find information on this topic. (If you would like some of these old seeds from Ferry's Seeds let me know.
Hi!, how are you guys doing? Just got to say that I like all your videos and enjoy watching them and also that unfortunately there is a lot of people like that, you give them something and they turn around and make money
Why did the Giant Crimson go extinct?
I think Jess should get them first because she’s the most trustful person I have seen on here other then you
You stick to your standards and don't let anyone change that about you. Looking forward to helping you keep it going into the future.
I respect what you doing. Wonderful ♥️♥️
That’s very responsible. I wonder if you can somehow patent it or something to prevent big companies from profiting off it.
How about "Buy $50+ in seeds and get one free ancient tomato seed"
updates plz , did you grow these this year (2020)
I’m seeing this in 2020. I’m very curious about what the status is at this point. Q’a
That's the most beautiful tomato. I just started out growing veg in my 50s and have 4 heirloom varieties growing surprisingly well in Bangkok. I'm working out how to create a tunnel trellis system to deal with the heat of April and monsoon conditions. So will have a solar fan to keep the tunnel cool, and plastic sheet to shield plants from the crazy rain here.
I hope that I get the opportunity to grow these tomatoes afterall they are another fruit. I love tomatoes in general but as you said that they are meaty but sweet. I would rather have an heirloom fruit rather than something that has had its genetics messed with
I'm no gardener but that's pretty cool. Gotta bring these dead fruit varieties back to life.
All I want to do is make pasta sauce with this tomato in a small batch for myself
This is just amazing! I'm just now finding this story. Any updates on seeds?
I don't see the seeds on MIgardener store. Hope to have seed someday
Looking at working on old seeds that how I came across this. Now I'm watching the whole series. Did you ever get some of these available? Would this genetic work in the south?
If they don't have covers in the flowers, wouldn't they be open-pollinated and could be crossed?
This is not the same as 87 years ago. This was impossible without YOU. This plant was GONE. Revived by you, it’s now a plant with a story that few share. I’ve bought many seeds from you and 100s of pounds of trifecta, and now these. I’m just a gardener, and you’ll probably never see my comment as your viewers have more than quintupled since I found your channel, but just in case: This is not the same as 87 years ago. This plant took you over 4 years to turn stable enough to share. I bought my 2 packets today, and I’ll clone and share all I can because it’s what you’d want. Some credit must be taken (or given if you refuse to take)for this enormous undertaking and therefore this plant will be known as the MIant crimson around here. The plant that died, and was loved back to life by a person refusing to give up.
Thank you
Don't blame you for being protective of the seeds. Good for you. Very exciting!
