You can just take some seeds from those grape tomatoes that you bought and
plant them if you want more. They are supposed to be a hybrid but so far
everyone that I know that has tried to grow them from bought tomatoes gets
plants the produce the same tomatoes. There are two grape like tomatoes
offered in the catalogs. Juliet and Santa, but they are both hybrids. This
year I will be growing F3 grape tomato seeds someone sent me, grape tomato
seeds I saved from tomatoes I bought and Santa and Juliet so it will be
interesting to compare the different plants.
