Thanks Patti,

So what process did you use with the seeds? Did you just take them from a
tomato and plant them directly or what?

Thanks again,

		In answer to the grape tomato question Rich, I took some
seeds from one last
		summer and got a few germinated.  I then put them in the
garden late in the
		fall, hoping we'd have a mild enough winter to maybe get
some tomatoes to
		ripen.  Well, we had a killing frost when there were 2
little itty bitty
		grape tomatoes on the plant, so I can't answer if they are
determinate or
		indeterminate, but I would imagine they are indeterminate.
I put my tomato
		seedlings out in the garden weekend before last, and there
are 2 more of
		these grape tomato plants in with them.  I guess by the end
of this growing
		season I would be able to answer you more accurately, but I
say go for it -
		take some of your seeds & give them a try.  Even if they
don't reproduce
		true to the parent, you'll still get a tomato of some kind,
wontcha? or will
		it be a grape? <grin>

		Hi all,

		My wife bought a pint sized container of these little
tomatoes the other
		day. I have never heard of them before, does anyone have any
experience with
		growing these? Are they determinate or indeterminate? She
would like me to
		try and grow some for her this year and suggested I ask you
folks about
		getting some seeds for these. Can I just cut one open and
let the seeds
		inside dry out or is there a different way of going about
it? Any help is
		greatly appreciated.

		Thanks,
