Killer Tomatoes

[BakedIn]

Kind of accidentally stumbled onto these while doing some online rummaging. And once I found them, i had to buy. I kind of collect old seed packs. Apparently some of the old VHS versions had these tomato seed packs attached to them. The movie itself is horrible


but do any of you remember this promotional and did you grow them out? And a lesser question do any of you collect old seed packs.

I do not remember this product at all.

Why would people collect old Seeds Packs?

I do keep the seed packs I receive from my Tomato Farmers Friends.

for me it began with inheriting old stashes. Friends, family move on to the garden above and I'd find some unused seeds in their belongings. Also auctions, the type where you carry boxes away and find things like that in them later. And i realized, some of these packs are pretty old, can't just throw them out !



they also don't take up any space and the artwork can be unique. and swells from there. also a very cheap hobby.



Remember when cheerios had those supposed bee friendly seed packs in the cereal boxes? unique things like that i seek out.



these tomato seeds are a little different being a mystery. ocd has got me wondering just what type of tomatoes these are. i'm hoping someone has grown these out and can describe what they were. if nobody has, by the time these arrive in the mail, i'm tempted to try and germinate a couple.

I truly understand your Hobby and Inspiration now Amen!!!

In my small section of Town in front of Fort Monroe, many finally understand my mission of saving the farming skills used by my people during the Civil War. With an invisible teaching of Native Americans who did not leave during the Trial of Tears, my great-grandfather had the Skills and Friendship of these Natives who lived in South Carolina.

It is good to be a little understood, Amen!!

Now that the pack arrived, there's more information on the back fwiw.



These seeds, (Delicious variety) are known to have produced tomatoes of 3 pounds or more. In 1986 a tomato raised by some dude in Edmond, Oklahoma weighted in at an incredible 7lbs, 12 oz. and is listed in Ripley's Believe it or Not!

then at the bottom in little bitty print, it lists the Page Seed Company in Green NY as the supplier. And 1996 as the packed date.



so even though I'm not familiar with Page seed, i'm pretty sure i grew a burpee version of delicious in the past.

I don't believe I've seen Page seed Co seed racks anywhere for a while. They seemed like common, OP varieties produced by questionable growers.

For a few things, that's fine; l plant things like zinnias and marigolds from these cheap seeds.

I wouldn't call myself a collector, but have a small hoard of old seed packets. My most prized example is a NK packet (empty box) of
Blue Lake beans dated 1965. Seeds were $0.25 in those days.
