Tomorrow I'll pull the Homestead Heritage tomato plant and save a couple of cuttings for new plants. I'll take some cuttings of the cherry tomatoes as well and try to get a few plants out of them to give away. The Roma's when pulled will never be in my garden again because that BER is not making me happy.

I'm going a little off topic, but Bill is one I would ask about this anyway. For me this year - the cuttings are growing just fine. However the seeds I started in mid May are outgrowing the cuttings. The cuttings are planted in the same beds/s in what I think would be a better area. The cuttings are 5 plants growing in an area that is getting twice as much sun than the 10 I planted from seeds.
There are two things that might be making the difference. The cuttings may need some additional shade provided? -and/or- The cuttings did come from plants growing with RKN and Fusarium before the plants were showing signs of RKN and Fusarium. Maybe, the cuttings are weaker due to this?
