               some of my first year tomatoes.  interesting it looks like hand polination with a paint brush seemed to give a bigger seed count. is 600 and 700 seeds normal? There is not much info on the internet for how many seeds tomatoes have

               I don't think that I want to count the seeds from the 16.85, takes too much time. Lol!

               You don't have to count them all. Just distribute them to this group. I'll send you a SASB.

               There might be a day when I have seeds you want even though it is improbable.

               You guys inspired me to have my kids watch the fable "the mouse and the lion"... It seems true that there is no foolishness in being meek, but there may be foolishness in being prideful.
