Best Answer

No but you can certainly save and dry the seeds from an over ripe tomato.

You may not get exactly the same variety as last year but it is worth doing.

Cherry tomato's like 'gardeners delight' are F 1 hybrids and may only exhibit dwarf fruits in the first year. Sowing this seed will result in the 2/3 ,1/3 rule of tall and short plants that Gregor Mendel worked out by carefully pollinating peas in a Hungarian monastery during the 19th century. Darwin died without knowing this genetic component even though they were alive at the same time. The Abbot threw away his notes after he died but luckily he had published his findings in an obscure journal.

Good luck!

How do you use a tomato cage?

It depends on which type of tomato cage you are using. If it is the wire cage, you simply wait until the tomato plant has been growing in your garden for about 3 weeks. Then set the cage over top the tomato plant and push the wire legs down into the soil. It is better to try this when the soil is soft after a rain.

How do you keep top of tomato plants from sagging?

Most tomato plants need to be surrounded by support stakes or manufactured support "baskets" available at Home Depot, WalMart, etc.... If you can't find these, use my grandfather's method: Insert 1" x 1" stakes in the ground around the plant about 3' high, then tie strings around these stakes about every 6". Gently rest the limbs of the tomato plant onto the strings for support.
