Well, the 2023 grafted tomato project was another limited success story. The plants went in too late again and the crop was disappointing. This year (2024) I've got a earlier start and have gone all in on propagating my root stocks and scion tomatoes. Expecting my usual poor germination rates, I planted plenty of root stock seeds - maybe too many. I germinated the seeds using a heat mat and because it is still January, decided to go with an LED grow light. That effort has resulted in excellent germination rates, I've got 30 root stocks up and growing. With the grow light the root stocks are growing nicely, the scion tomatoes were just planted yesterday and they are warming on another heat mat. Ever hopeful, I think this might be the year.
