This is an Amana Orange tomato slice. It is one of my new favorite heirloom tomatoes. I have planted it for 2 years. It is large and grows very well for me.
I read about planting slices of tomatoes a while ago. I had a couple of tomato slices in the refrigerator that were getting to old to eat. I put them in the sink and started to the water running to put them down the disposal. Then I remembered to plant a slice. A lot of the seeds washed away, but there were still plenty left, so I pulled this slice out of the sink and planted it instead. We will see what happens. By-the-way there is a layer of soil over the top of this tomato slice. It is the pot in the back left corner in the two pictures below.
This is a start from my Golden Jubilee heirloom tomato plant. Another favorite. It reminds me of a Roma tomato, because it has few seeds and not a lot of juice. It is bigger and rounder than a Roma. I thought I would take a cutting, root it, and plant it in a container to see if it would survive the winter. My house may be too cold for it.
This is a start from a Sun Sugar tomato plant. It is the only non-heirloom tomato I grow. It was the morning after a freeze that I suddenly realized I should take a cutting and see if I could get it to grow indoors this winter and not have to buy one in the Spring. I found some sections below the frozen plant tops and cut off 4 pieces. Only one has rooted so far. One rotted away and the other two are still in a vase of water. Hopefully they grow roots too.
