People are free to make comments and express their ‘opinion’ but of course others may read such a terse put down on the price and think the price is too high and won’t buy the new variety. The poster later says that they don’t know anything about the processes of hybrid production ( research development, time and labor of production, or the prices of hybrid seeds). Would have been helpful to include the ‘educate me’ in the first comment.
Many people may only buy cheaper hybrid seeds like Big Beef
if they think $6.95 (30 seeds , no shipping) is too high.
That is actually quite reasonable and inexpensive.
Anyway, I am huge fan of Momotaro (Japanese tomato).
At Fedco I get 10 seeds (TEN SEEDS) for $6.25 plus it is $6 to ship
(Also got it from Kitazawa Seeds, Territorial, and a few other places. )
Mountain Magic is another I love and it is $4.25 for 10 seeds (TEN SEEDS)
Plus shipping (better to combine multiple packs).
I’ve gotten many, many hybrids over the years from Johnny’s, the seeds can be very expensive as is the shipping. For instance, Tomimaru Muchoo was 15 seeds for 10.90 plus shipping.
I grow in the fall and winter season of S Florida.
This season (2020/2021) I got several hybrid seeds from Artisan seeds to try.
I have great pictures of Talvez and Agi Red taken this Feb. 2021 but no way to post them as I no longer use an image posting site.
Talvez had incredibly bold flavor and very productive . Beautiful too. AGI red
was sweet and very good. I immediately went and ordered more Talvez a few weeks ago for next year and wanted Benevento and Jazz but they were sold out. Will order later when they are available. The pack of Agi Red seeds had a lot so I didn’t need to order more. Artisan Seed prices are very reasonable with no shipping charges. Talvez hybrid F1 was $5 dollars for 20 seeds AND FREE SHIPPING. Looking forward to trying Benevento and others next season in Florida.
