I've had better luck with seed when I start them outside. I buy started plants and plant seeds at the same time- so I get a staggered harvest. And we always have tons of "volunteers" coming up in the strangest places. I had a really hard time finding Romas last year. My dad had to bring me down a bunch from Ohio.
I had one of the beds of tomatoes not fenced last year. The plants were huge & in cages. The chickens would dig around them & sleep in their shade. They ended up looking like bonsai tomato plants
