One More Thing


One thing that did surprise us about the Box Car Willie experiment, where Cindy grafted a tomato plant onto disease-resistant tomato root stock was that the grafted Box Car Willie produced much larger tomatoes than the ungrafted plant right beside it.

A Tale of Two Box Cars

This picture shows tomatoes from both plants: the tomato from the ungrafted plant is on the left and the grafted one on the right.  The ungrafted one was about three quarters of a pound and the grafted one weighed 1 and three quarters pounds.  

That's a lot of tomato.
