Tomatoes Are Growing in Vermont Greenhouses

grafted tomato seedlings (1)

Each of these pots at Walker Farm contains two tomato seedlings of different varieties that have been grafted together. Once the graft has healed, the protective clips will be removed and the top off the rootstock variety will be cut off, leaving its roots attached to the variety with desirable fruit characteristics. Then the plants will be transplanted into the soil in a greenhouse.
