Yeah, even with tiny, almost sand-like little seeds. You'd think a few in the bottom of a letter or package would certainly make it through customs or whatever... just saying

Lol! We have found that some seeds if they are xrayed too many times don’t grow. My biggest dream would be able to get some beefsteak tomatoes or mortgage breakers here. The tomato here is pitiful. The skin is thick and even after cooking is tough. Tiny and, just not good for a mater Mayo sandwich.
Really? Tomatoes shouldn't be that tough to get, should they? I know that some online seed stores ship internationally. You should see what is allowed by the government there.
@papa-pepper anyone that I know is having a difficult time growing the larger tomatoes here. It could be partially what you said in a post awhile ago about the calcium content in the soil. I know of no extension office or university, locally that will assess our soil. I believe the majority of the topsoil has to do with whatever is coming from the coconut trees. The soil is rich and most things grow. But tomatoes are problematic. Finding the right variety and getting the soil adjusted might be the solution. If something was successful, I could sell them in the local market and do well.
Egg shells may be a good start to enrich a little area for growing tomatoes. Just a plant or two can really produce with good soil and water. I hope that you are blessed as you attempt to figure it out.
Thank you!
