  1. Harvesting my Giant Crimsons now… delicious and super prolific! Had a friend stop by today and while showing them off I explained your story of how this breed was resurrected from extinction. Well done Luke, thanks for all your hard work!

  2. I am using these in place of paste tomatoes for sauce. They are uniform in color, great texture, super healthy and blight resistant even when blight is on other varieties all around it I will always grow these. Yes the sizes are all over the place but that’s ok.

  3. Goes to show what intensification and commercialisation of farming and agriculture has done. Has led to fewer varieties of vegetables, fruits and cereals within their different types leading to a lot of monocultures. THANKFULLY, there are folks like yourself to TRY and reverse the trends if that is even possible.

  4. Glad to know that the Giant Crimson aren't expected to be giant LOL!! I purchased seed from you this past spring. Grew 3 seedlings and saved the remaining two "just in case". I planted 2 of the seedling in my own garden and gave the third seedling to another seed saving gardening friend. I have been very happy with the production of these plants but wondered about the size. As a Maine gardener, the tomatoes are just coming on now and tomorrow we will be giving the Giant Crimson a taste test! Thank you Luke for bringing this tomato back!
