I recall an article in the New Yorker many (>30)years ago. There was a community in NJ in which some gardeners were grafting tomato branches on mature Jimsonweed. Works well if you want early tomatoes. But if the Jimson/tomato ratio is too large you'll end up in the ER.

Surgeons can do skin grafts to save lives so I guess it is only natural for farmers to start grafting their vegetables. I think this is such a great experiment, and it is still supporting local, organic growers which is always a plus!I bet these tomatoes will be tasty.

Thanks so much for showing how to do this. I ordered grafted tomatoes through Territorial, but I may give this a try soon.
