Nice job Marv.

That would make short work of blanching and peeling for canning.

Thanks Homeend. I got real lucky. I wonder if Carolyn saw your post?

Marv

Yes she did Marv, but she hasn't been coming here to GW much lately.

Someone also posted the same at another site, actually Gary Millwood, and I'm just waiting to see if anyone is going to ask where they can buy those seeds. LOL

Big Zac F1 is about the only one, b'c no where does it say that the Delicious seeds you and others have been using are ones derived from Gordon's big Delicious one, so buying straight out Delicious seeds isn't quite going to do it.

Right?

Carolyn

Carolyn, good to see all is well with you. Unfortunately the Delicious seeds in question were from Phil and Jane Hunt's 7 pound Delicious tomato grown in Canada and not from the Gordon Graham Delicious seeds. They got their seeds from someone who grew tomatoes from a packet they purchased in a store somewhere in Canada. You can get some of these heirloom seeds by going to the Bigpumpkin site and sending a SASE to one of the growers posting there and they will send you seeds free. It is not always about money as you know. I have sent out nearly 250 to 300 packets of free seeds so far this year. I know you give them away as well. Take care. Marv

There I go again, not knowing where all the seeds came from.LOL I thought at one time you or someone else got some seeds from Gordon's big one.

I'm glad you noted where folks could get some of those seeds, but as for me, I know you offered to send me some since we've known each other for so long, but I just haven't taken you up on your offer to date.

All is well with me you said? Well mentally I'm just fine, that's a self assessment mind you, and if you think I'm going to make a list of some medical conditions I'm dealing with, you're wrong. LOL

With increasing age, as I'm sure you know, stuff happens. ( smile) So one deals with it as best one can.
