Enjoy the finished product! I have heard people say they plant TOMATO SEED...I never heard of that. I always bought the plants and planted those - seeds? Grew up on a farm and never heard of tomato seed.. We had a huge garden - our dad planted it, we kids gathered all the “goodies” and our mother canned everything.

Nothing like tomato sandwiches. I was on vacation one year and at an aunt’s home, we were making tomato sandwiches. I asked where the “mayo” was and she said, “if God wanted you to have mayo on your tomatoes, it would grow in the garden” and I said, “same with salt - Auntie.” All in good humor.

A side note - you realize how old you’re getting when your parents are gone and then all your aunts and uncles and many cousins...Good times to remember!!

I grew some from seed two years ago, but this year I’m going with ‘Celebrity’ and ‘Better Boy’ plants a foot or so tall, one already with little tomatoes.
I tried beefsteak, but a few had the cracking around the stem. Big & juicy though.
I have a store bought one on the counter you could play pickle ball with it.

Serious question: Where did you think the tomato plants [seedlings] you bought came from?

I planted all most all my tomatoes from seed this year and last and used from one huge paste tomato for seed..so far so good..

when we were kids, we lived on tomatoes sandwich's in the summer.
