  • Well, that's odd...

    S'what I said a couple of weeks after planting my Yellow Cherry tomatoes into their final positions (Three - each in bottomless flower buckets of garden centre compost, inserted into a standard grow bag). The plants were grown from seeds from ONE yellow cherry tomato that I bought as part of a "Fancy-Tomato-Salad-Combo" from Tezzies.
    They are all doing splendidly, putting on lots of growth and plenty of flowers, but one of them has distinctly different leaves from the other two - looking much more like potato leaves than tomato! All my other saved seed plants are looking "tomato-y". They all get the same feeding/watering regime. Any ideas? I'm not that bothered, just curious...

    I'll bet that your yellow tomato was a F1 hybrid. Seeds from those don't necessarily come true to type and one of the parents was probably a potato-leaved variety. It'll be interesting to see what the fruit is like.

      Ahh I knew someone would have an explanation! Thanks RL! Would that also means that seeds I saved from other varieties in the same pack may not reproduce true? I'm quite excited by the amount of blossom (yes, BLOSSOM - there is so much of it!) on what I hope will be a red cherry plum.

        All depends on the varieties used Creemteez. I saved seed from some Tesco mini plum tomatoes and they turned out lovely. Very similar to the ones I had bought.
