That is really neat! What an awesome photo, too! Is it one you grew, or was it from the store? I'd plant that...just like Alee says!

Good to see you post Jo. I had one tomato with a couple of sprouts late last summer. I put it in the compost bin in the garage, think the worms consumed it before it sprouted anymore, though. It had been on the counter for a week or more when I cut into it.
Did you get my email about my new chocolate lab girl?

I think that you should plant them too. But if the tomato came from a store it is a hibrid and might. Each seed could revert to a different tomato type. It would be inteeresting to see what happens.
