Attention tomato growers

[Steve Miller]

Just watched a video where a guy picked a slice of tomato from a McDonalds hamburger and planted it. It grew remarkably well!

Odd looking, though. Shaped more like a Roma than a slicing tomato. Maybe they ship better or something. Grew it in a 5 gallon bucket filled with potting soil. Easy enough.

Gonna try it!

It will be interesting to see what you get. Many tomato varieties are hybrids so the seeds may produce something different from the parent fruit.

Can't be a Roma - not big enough diameter. Could be a Roma hybrid, though. Will be interesting to see.

I don't think I'd want to mess with McDonald's products because they're likely genetically modified.

My neighbor grew some purple tomatoes and surprised me with a sandwich bag with some when they were done. The color was interesting and they were pretty good.

Did you know that McDonald's potatoes are put in a building and sprayed with a pesticide so strong that workers can't enter the building for days?

I'm interesting experiment, though. I never would have thought of it.

My Lithuanian friend has successfully grown sweet red peppers with seeds from a grocery store pepper, two years in a row. But as @big_al said, seeds from a hybrid might not produce offspring the same as the parent

That’s what happened when I tried planting grocery store green pepper seeds

The plants I got were very small with only one or two tiny peppers.
