Am needing help finding where i can get seeds for the professor plum in the dining room with a knife tomato!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Good heavens all these new names! Maybe he's hiding out with Miss Scarlet in the Kitchen With the Knife
Let's ask @Tormato he should know.

Yes thank you! He has helped me!

Now you have all of us wanting to know what the outcome of this “mystery” is. Do tell! I recently acquired seeds for Miss Scarlet and will be growing it this year. I’m “dying” to find out about Professor Plum.

While growing out Miss Scarlet in the Kitchen with a Knife, two of us got plum tomatoes rather than the round shape. One was called Professor Plum in the Dining room with a Knife. So the elusive Professor Plum is an unstable plump plum.

Ohhhh, now I get it. Thanks Patti!

Are there any other “clue themed” tomatoes? I have the Miss Scarlett in the kitchen but now I’m wondering if there are others besides these two?

I recieved a few seeds last year and grew 2 plants for the professor plum. Unfortunately both produced red round globe shaped tomatoes that cracked easily. Both were grown in a 35 gal mineral tub with a good layer of mulch to help retain moisture levels. Am in central MO zone 6b/6a.

Professor Plum was, and the last of the seeds this year are, released as a first generation of the plum-shaped tomato that originated from a Miss Scarlet In The Kitchen With The Knife grow out. It is nowhere near being stable. I don't know if there are any successive generations of seeds producing a plum-shaped tomato, out there. Perhaps I'll start some of my earliest MSITKWTK saved seeds to see what shows up.

A Colonel Mustard (no room or weapon, yet) is somewhat in the works, as is a Mr Green. I don't know if I want to go with a Dr Orchid, who has a PhD in plant toxicology!

Finding suitable prospects/suspects in my garden is fairly easy. Naming them is far more...

































...wrenching.

Dr orchid in the conservatory with a rope.. we tie up tomatoes in the garden anyways lol

Someone could do a cross of a stick variety and name it miss peacock in the ballroom with the candlestick.. wink wink any takers? Lol

If you ever need someone to help grow some out I know someone with a lot of land that can help isolate it

Right now, I'm too busy to look for Clue suspects.

They are mixed in with the Bacon Lettuce And ... themed seeds, Mack The Knife themed seeds, ...



"Scarlet Billows " and "Never Never A Trace Of Red" should be easy finds. I don't know about doing a "Cement Bag", though.

... and, there are a few other themes for me to work on.

In the fall, I can go through my gallon bucket of experimental seeds. I'll try to send whatever you request.
