Interesting! I am now slightly more enlightened about an area that I don’t know much at all about (gardening and growing things). I love tomatoes so I’ll remember this, and might try to make myself a tomato plant one day. My dad and grandfather grow tomatoes in their home gardens successfully where I live so I know that it is possible

Good question…and i don’t blame you for wanting to have that good looking tomato in your tummy. But I’m afraid I haven’t heard of anyone doing that, and I doubt the seeds are mature. Cut that tomato up, scoop out the seeds and THEN put the tomato that’s left in your tummy. lol!

Can I use the seeds in a green tomato that hasn’t ripened yet? I hate to waste a good looking tomato that could be in my tummy.

If you have access to heirloom tomatoes, it would be best. Some hybrids won’t grow at all, while some may grow but produce unexpected types of fruit. I have had tomatoes come up volunteer in my garden that I’m pretty sure were hybrid, and did okay, though. Good question!

Does it work for hybrid tomatoes, or is it better to do this with heirloom ones?

Glad you like da blog. You can sit beside me on the buckboard on the way to Missouri, lol. I’ve been a big fan of your blog for a couple of months now. I’ve heard a lot of buzz about it. I think you’ve cast a spell on us.

Goodness, Damsel! What a groovy website! So awesome, and so the complete opposite of me. When we all head back to Missouri, I choose to be in your wagon train!

Thanks for the comments over at my place.

We all have our talents, my dear, and if yours is growing mold then embrace it. **snicker

I know all about the containers in the back of my fridge, where things go to die.

Oh dear. I am so good at growing mold. I grow it often in all the containers that are pushed to the back of the fridge. You would think that the sight of mold wouldn’t affect me anymore, but I still struggle to keep the vomit down when I open up the leftovers containers.

Do I REALLy have to grow mold for tomato seeds? I just don’t think I am going to do very well during Armageddon – too many of the self-sufficient things creep me out.
