The problem with doing what you are doing is the tomatoes are hybrids. So you don't know what kind of a tomato you are going to get. Looks like the slicer you put in the pot is a Roma now. If you don't care what kind of tomato it is, then it does matter. You could get small cherry tomatoes.
I would have been concerned that the hot patty placed on the tomato would have cooked the seeds. Looks like they suffered no ill effects.
❤❤❤❤❤
At least we know the tomatoes are real 😂this is awesome
The tomato might be the only safe part of the sandwich> Will this be the next McDonald's commercial?
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, I'd like a quarter pound of tomato slices with no cheese, no bun, no condiments and no burger."
" That'll be the same price as a quarter pounder without cheese."
" Be sure to hold the pickles too; I don't want to plant yellow dye #5."
that little slice of tomato was pretty expensive unless you really eat that food
🎉🌱🌱🪴🍀
And learning!
I remember last summer we had a store bought tomato that started sprouting, it was too late to plant, so we ended up throwing it away
Loved this video!!! You are so encouraging!!! Thank you!!!
I've boycotted McDonalds for over 30 yrs. Pretty sure a pack of (tons more / non GMO) tomato seeds of the variety you want costs less than a burger. I grow my own food from seed because I can't afford to eat out. I would have assumed those tomato seeds had better growth inhibitors or were patented. Just started my tomato seeds today in S. Wisconsin. I still have tons in my freezer from last year. Time to make another batch of veggie chili.
Great video James.
Looked like roma but I think its like he said about the seeds being from hybrid fruit.
I hope they are not GMO in any way. Otherwise wouldn't gmo contamination be introduced to the garden?
Yes. It works.
This is pretty cool. Ideally you could plant a beef patty and grow that too.
Guessing they are not non gmo 😂
Please do more storebought food seed planting! This is my special interest
I never would have thought of doing that. So fun that you did. Now I'm hungry and I want McDonald's.
For the last two years I've grown supermarket soft neck garlic (likely from California). A deal at 79 cents per bulb. Big fat bulbs from the local produce section at the supermarket. Look for fat large bulbs with some roots attached still. Plant as you normally would and yes good harvests have happened. Cheap and fun. I did not get organic as the store did not have any fresh.
Why is the Tomato from McDonalds a round Tom Tomato & the one you grow is a Roma Tomato? Does not make sense.
Fun experiment. I had dozens of tomato plants grow from burying a cherry tomato whole.
Thx james. Was good to see the little king 🙏✌️🇺🇸
Amazing !!! Incredible 🙂 Never seen this before – so many fresh tomatoes form a MacDonald's Burger !!! Brilliant !!! Thank you 🙂
You are inspiring people to grow more food. Love your energy.❤
I was hoping it would grow burgers since they're so expensive now🤣
So funny! McDonald's hamburger now is also a seed source! hahaha Thank you for this video. I really like it!
Is that little Tuck ???❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great video !!!
I grew some seeds here in South Africa from a giant red tomato imported from Ukraine but it took so long to ripen with only 5 per plant, and they were rather tasteless so clearly not suited to our southern climate.
