You should mention to avoid using the seeds of hybrid plants as the seed will not match the mother plant. The resulting plant will match one of the plants that were hybridized for the mother plant, and this may not be a fruiting specimen.

It should be titled "How to grow tomatoes from seeds".. The current title would have the reader believe that we are growing actual seeds as an end-product, not the fruit/vegetable itself.

ok, so i have my tomato seedlings and they all have several leaves. it is still too cold to place them outside, so can i transplant them to larger containers (they are in little 3oz seedling pods right now) and then when the frost is gone, put them in the garden? will too much 'moving about' shock them?

In the fall and winter, we just throw old ripe tomatoes and end pieces out the back door onto a bed that I built right up against the house, or feed them to the chickens. By the next spring, we have hundreds of healthy stocky tomato transplants to set out in the garden. We've been perpetuating the same strain of tomatoes for many years, and every year we have all we can eat and can and freeze and give away.

it works, like the above (starting 72). i had one tomato left and i just poked it open and stuck it under the ground. about a week and a half later about one popped out each day. i thought they were weeds until it finally dawned on me that that tomato i buried might have been the source of the seeds.
