Carolyn, you have really helped me to understand. Thank you.

I have a related - but totally separate question:

I got cherry tomato seeds from a swap that do not grow well. The germination rate is poor, the plants grow stunted. and produce only a few tomatoes at best. My question is, "If I were to save seeds from those few tomatoes, do those seeds have much of a chance to grow healthy productive plants when planted next growing season?"

The seeds are not rare or anything (Black Cherry) and I'm thinking that it would be better to toss the seeds I have and just buy some more. But, I am curious about the question above.
