I'm picky on tomatoes. I'll keep recyling the romas, since that's a staple around here. I've never tried the grafted. If I can't do it myself, I generally avoid it.

Last winter I must have thrown an old rotten Roma tomato in the tree ring of the Live Oak tree for its spring fertilizer. Looks like a few ‘mata seedlings popped up unexpectedly in one spot. I thinned a few out and 2 went into the garden and the other to a pot. I’ll be tickled pink tomato juice if they produce.

I understand the logic of the grafted plant, but seed saving is not going to work with grafted. I had one catalog last year that was selling individual NOT grafted tomato plants at 12 bucks a pop. To say I sputtered is an understatement.

I like the heirlooms for the taste. I also use a lot of Romas because they work in about everything.
