Out of curiosity am wondering if anyone grafts tomato plants these
days....HW


The only thing I've seen is U.S newspaper adverts for "THE AMAZING
POMATO!!! GROWS TOMATOES ON THE TOP AND POTATOES UNDERGROUND!!"


Grafted, of course, and neither part as productive as separate plants.
Always touted as some marvelous new breakthrough. But maybe we colonials
are more gullible.


Gary, have you tried the Chipolato? The tomato/potato graft is
reversed, to that perfect tomatoes grow underground, protected from
frost and hidden from pests. Above ground, the grafted GM potato
produces french-fries, known here as chips. I have one or two spare
plants available under PBR, for only $999.

Janet.


Sounds like a good buy if it includes postaage...H
