@clkeiper: You got it. I'm a plant breeder. I adapt every species possible to my garden. In the case of Solanum galapagense, the only intentional plant breeding that I have done, is to do three generations of selection for easy germination, (and I suppose for the ability to grow well enough in my garden to make seeds.)
At this point, it would be suitable for use in a breeding project, or to grow for sharing seed with other people. In essence, the seed has made the domestication contract with me: The seed agreed to give up it's seed dormancy self-protection mechanism, and I agree to plant it at an appropriate time and place.
