Seedless tomatoes?

by Peter May » Tue Mar 15, 2011 4:35 pm

My family like my homemade pasta sauce of aubergine in fresh tomato sauce -- I find its preparation tedious as it is rare to get ripe plum tomatoes and skinning them all and removing seeds is a chore.

But this week most of the tomatoes didn't have that watery yellow flesh packed with seeds but were virtually seedless with thick pulpy red flesh so I could use all the insides.

I have never come across seedless plum tomatoes before.

I like those too, Peter. Costco has the seeds from Burpee, a leading seed merchant in the States. If you would like seeds to grow your own, I need to go to Costco soon and would be glad to pick up a pack and send them to you.

Bobs, many thanks

After Bob R's post I thought I 'd check with my gardener friend to see if the seed were available here, then our meeting got postponed..

Anyway, he didn't know about seedless toms either but now we know there are such things and major seed merchants have them, thanks Bob H, we're going to give them a try.

Bob R, thanks for the offer but my friend thinks seed importation is not allowed. But we can get seedless here, thanks
