Tomatoes

I was reading an article about tomatoes ,it mentioned to have the best crop you leave a whole tomato to shrivel up then plant it whole ,it then went on to say it was the best crop ever! just wondered whether anyone has tried it!

 

:D

 

I save tomatoes and have collected the seed when they've dried out. This year I just took them fresh and washed them. They germinated well.
The problem I see with planting a whole tomato is that you'll get hundreds of liitle plants all one on top of each other. It is what would happen in the wild though, isn't it?

 

I have got one of those 'clumps' in the greenhouse from a last year's tomato. It's an interesting looking tuft and I am leaving it to see what happens.

 

Thanks once again Liz ! I am going to give it a try! I am planting everything in site now lol i went to wash my shorts yesterday and in the pockets i found some seeds that i had collected from South Africa ,i haven't a clue what they are i have just put them in a seed tray and hope for the best.
