I have been told time and again by *experts* that, "it is impossible to save OP tomato seed by home gardeners."

On at least two occasions by people eating OP tomatoes of seed I had saved.

Likewise the *what experts know*, of disease suseptibility of OP tomato is IMO, similarly untested and just plain blovation.

I did garden through and underwent a crop failure in '09 in NH of late blight. As did most every body else, OP or F1 hybrid growers alike in the north east.

My contempt of Master Gardener programs has grown, rather than abated over the years.
