That's what I was thinking. Testing fruit from diseased plants.
Who would save seed from a clearly infected plant?
(unless testing)
I have saved no seed from the farm plants, zip-zero. Not sure yet
why myself and neighbors, friends, far and wide, had such a
bad tomato season, even some full grown tasty fruit but until
someone can say for sure what happened...
...only saved seed from my other location without troubles. Deck
micros/dwarfs and driveway containers.
