Alee	Posted - Jun 15 2012 : 3:23:15 PM I was cutting up a tomato this morning to put on Nora's sandwich for lunch. We had two tomatoes ripeing on the window sill. I cut into the first one and apparently we left it too long because the seeds were sprouting! So I cut open the second and same thing! I honestly had never seen the seeds sprout inside the tomato before- it makes sense I suppose, but wow- weird!

Bear5	Posted - Jun 16 2012 : 9:00:21 PM I've had that happen once or twice. It was still a good tomato.

rough start farmgirl	Posted - Jun 15 2012 : 7:41:52 PM It's called vivipary and Alee is right it is from the fruit being warm. The tomato acts like a greenhouse to the seeds! Weird, huh. It's happened to me, too. Marianne
Alee	Posted - Jun 15 2012 : 5:34:24 PM I figured it is because the tomatoes got so warm after becoming fully ripe. Alee Farmgirl Sister #8 www.farmgirlalee.blogspot.com www.allergyjourneys.blogspot.com [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wff7Xpc/] [/url]
oldbittyhen	Posted - Jun 15 2012 : 5:27:33 PM i've seen that alot, don't know why it happens, but it doesn't hurt the flavor, so I eat them... "Knowlege is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"
acairnsmom	Posted - Jun 15 2012 : 3:50:09 PM I had that happen once too! It is weird, I questioned whether I should eat it and then said why not? Audrey http://prairiecairncottage.blogspot.com/ Good boy Hobbs! I love and miss you.
