Seedlings VS Cuttings VS Well Established

The race,  a study, what works and what doesn't.

The first set of tomatoes is just about a tie, between the cuttings
and last year's geriatric, relatively speaking, Turkish tomato.
That is until a Hornworm took out a big chunk out of the cutting's
tomato. All but one of the classic signs of this garden pest was
there, until that is, until is was gone. Like to think a hungry bird
spotted it and brought that feast home to it's partner or babies if
it's not too early.

So that makes my established tomato in the front and leading.

My next observation is to see if the seedlings tomatoes catch
up with the cuttings.

Winner of the second round. Plenty of new growth through out this tall
specimen, with the fruits of it's labor at the top. Judging from the size
of it's tomato this would have won the first round.
