Disclaimer: Some modern tomato varieties may be protected by plant patents, which means you shouldn’t propagate them by cuttings or save their seeds without permission. Most heirlooms and many home garden hybrids aren’t patented, so they’re fine for personal use. When in doubt, check the seed packet or tag.
