		Rich, there's a process to it I found on this list last
year.  Let's see
		IIRC.  I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm steering you wrong.
I put some of
		the seeds & the 'stuff' they're attached to (you know, that
clearish thick
		substance that surrounds each seed area) in a shot glass -
no pulp.  To this
		I added about 1/2 shot glass of water.  Let this sit for a
while (a week
		maybe?), it might have some moldy stuff on top - that's OK.
Pour off the
		water, rinse seeds & add more water if the 'stuff' is still
present &
		repeat.  If the 'stuff' is gone, lay the seeds out somewhere
to completely
		dry.  Then they're ready to plant.  Good luck & happy
gardening!

		Patti

		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,
				Rich(zone6)
