Earlier this year I saw a picture showing tomato plants grown by placing tomato slices in a container. In early June I planted three plum tomato slices into one planter containing Miracle Grow Potting soil. I watered them regularly. Two weeks later I had seedlings. Today I have one large and two medium planters with tomatoes on all plants which are on the deck. We live in NJ, and the plants get adequate sun and shade daily. I water them daily, and they get Miracle Grow plant food as recommended. I'm thrilled with size of the plants, but I'm curious about the tomatoes currently on the plants. Since I planted plum tomato slices, I assumed that's the type that would grow. The plants contain both round and plum shaped tomatoes. What gives? Thanks for your help.
