We are friends. Everything is saved in the hope that it's viable - if it isn't we haven't lost anything.
One year i sent every one globe thistle/Echinopes seed. None came ? I was really surprised but no one really minded. It's just one pot and not much time wasted?
Phew! That's a relief. I'll try to check any seed I have a doubt about. When saving tomato seed, what would happen, do you think, if I happened to leave the seeds to ferment a little longer than the three or four days. Would they still be worth saving? I forgot about some and the seeds have dried rather dark. I've sown a couple to see what happens, so I'll probably be able to answer my own question.
