Big Mama tomato seed wanted.

15 years ago

Looking for Big Mama Paste Hybrid tomato seed. This seed is avaliable comercially but I would trade some heirlooms for your old seed you dont want. Tomato seed stored properly will be viable for several years. I have had 10 year old seed that germinated over 60% with bottom heat and high humidity. I know this is probably a wasted post but you never know.

Hi rb55,

Welcome to Garden Web, and The Seed Exchange!

I grew both Big Mama and Romeo (an even bigger paste type than Big Mama) this season and have fresh seeds that I saved.
I don't know how Big Mama would do from 'saved' seeds but here I am told that Romeo is an OP variety.

I would be interested in knowing what you have available for trade, and the source...saved, bagged blossoms, or segregated, commercial, approximate age, etc.

Drop me an email and we will talk.

Hi bigvegnut, Did you know that you have no Member Page email link, thus there is no way to contact you for trading? I suspect it maybe disappeared a short while back when GW was having some 'issues'. chemocurl...aka Sue

Well if you Google them you'll find several seed suppliers - Reimers, Cooks Garden, Burpee, eBay, Petes' Herbs, etc. But I agree with hoosier - there are better ones. I am planning on growing Opalka because I have been told about it's great flavor, but I am very concerned about it being succeptible to early blight. ohiogrower - any tomato is susceptible to early blight. Opalka no more so than any other. Cause is fungus Alternaria solani and it is soil, seed, wind, water, etc. borne. But it can be prevented with a good antifungal spray program from day one if it is a chronic problem for you. Dave
