WOW! I have never grown such big fruits from this variety before! If you just joined this web site, let me fill you in. I have been saving seeds from “Cabin” tomatoes and regrowing them for the last few years. The plants seem really disease resistant, and I love the taste!
I have saved one batch of seeds, which was about the amount that covered a small dinner plate. Those are in the freezer now, and will be tested for viability soon.
I have a second batch of seeds fermenting in a quart jar right now, and that should provide another few hundred seeds.
I plan to send out up to 50 (give or take) envelopes of seeds for this variety of tomato to folks willing to send in a picture of their efforts to grow it in 2013, and who will try to save seeds for the next season.
Some have already sent me their addresses (thank you!), and I hope to collect a few more.

I would LOVE some seeds! I’d be happy to post our results. Those are just beautiful! Let me know if I can send you my address. So cool.

You bet, no problem!

I too would like approx. 6 or 8 seeds just to try. That would be plenty to try. Please let me know if and how to get them. Thanks.

Yes sir, I’ll contact you if I haven’t already.

Me!Me1Me! You already have my address. I can commit to posting pictures AND to saving seeds since I do that already.
I guess it isn’t ALL dead…. My water bill was $90 this month. I guess it was worth it, all my trees and sthrubs are stressed but alive. Praying for that line of storms to reach us….
Posted by Jimmy Cracked-Corn on August 5, 2012 at 9:23 pm
That’s quite a water bill. Mine comes every 3 months, so we shall see. I have your address printed and ready.

It would be great if someone won some kind of record or ribbon with one of these tomatoes next year.
Posted by Green Thumb Mama on July 26, 2012 at 8:57 am
WHOA. That has to be a world record. Have you looked into it? I have never seen a tom that big before!!!
Posted by Jimmy Cracked-Corn on August 5, 2012 at 9:23 pm
Unfortunately the world record is something like 7 pounds, grown on a Delicious variety plant.

Interesting! I’m surprised a tomato this big has good flavor. Way to go!
Posted by Jimmy Cracked-Corn on August 5, 2012 at 9:24 pm
Flavorful and very meaty. I’m having to cut up a lot of fruit to save seeds for 40 packets.

Nice looking tomato. I would love to receive some of the seeds and give this variety a try. I currently have 6 different varieties planted this year (a total of 34 plants, we really like tomato’s and can a lot). I have Rutger’s, Delicious, Beef Steak, Arkansas Traveler’s, Early Girl and San Marzano Roma’s.
Been following you blog for a while and enjoy it.
