A Rare Vintage Tomato

Remind me Sheal,what happened to them,was it blight?...

 

No I don't think it was blight Loli. The plants just slowly died and although the fruit were still tiny and green they looked healthy. I'd planted them in a large trough this year with bedding around the edges, so there's a possibility it was lack of nutrients. I'll know better next year!

 

Cleaned the seeds off under running water.



Found that it would have been easier to remove more pulp at the start, which I have done with the next batch.



Dried them in the sun as quickly as pos, don't want them germinating

They were mostly stuck together so had to separate them by hand.

 

That's a good hoard you've got there Zigs, got to be at least a thousand seeds I would think.

 

I've come across this the 'Manx Marvel' thread and read through it again. Is anyone still growing them?

 

I think just me ....they have their own mini greenhouse so 100% pure .. I still find them watery

 

I wish I could @JWK. I don't have a greenhouse and the climate's not good enough up here to grow them or any other tomato outside - although I've tried.
