Title: Poccolo tomatoes
Post by: grannyjanny on April 25, 2009, 20:11:44
Is anyone growing piccolo tomatoes from shop bought fruit. I've got some seeds from one & wondered if it was to late to sow them. Are they indoor or outdoor toms.

Piccolo is a hybrid it won't come true from saved seed.

In fact true of an awful lot of shop-bought fruit and veg..... nearly all F1 unless grown by some small hands-on organic grower locally 9and even then.....)
That siad if you know what the parental stock of the hybrid is it might be worth doing anyway....
