I guess it's time to buy seed for all of your wild accessions.<br /><br />I'm currently watching Joseph Lofthouse's tomato breeding project very carefully as he is selectively breeding all his tomatoes for exerted stigmas, high pollen, open flowers, and high attractiveness to bees. He is using mostly wild tomato genomes to do it!

Crazy how far we've moved away from adaptability and diverse genetics. We grew both Yellow and Red Centiflor as well a pimpinifolium along with our favorite slicers in the garden this year. I'll be looking forward to seeing what our seed saving yields next season. Peace! <br /><br />Scott Vlaunnoreply@blogger.com
