My forays into good tomato trials are about what you've seen here.
It wasn't long ago, (2 years) that I tried my first tomatoes from seed. Before that I just bought plants off the rack. I'm not so fond of those anymore, although I had a good roma then whose seeds must still be germinating since I have volunteer romas again this year. Somehow I got lucky and have volunteers, (I kept the right ones
) of cherries and romas. I have no idea what cultivar they are any longer.
How do you know when your saved seed is ready, (dry enough (?) to store for the winter? I pulled some last year with the thought of saving some, but they looked like they would be difficult to dry properly so I just bought more from the seed supplier.
