Well. Not really.
But I'm wondering...
If an individual were to harvest seeds, year after year, from a tightly grouped tomato garden, filled with a variety of tomato plants...
couldn't a person end up with their own "variety" of tomato eventually?
Especially if attention to detail is observed and the garden is a controlled environment.
Unless my math is off, this certainly seems possible, and seems to be what people have done for years.
Here's what I'm thinking, and please correct me if I'm wrong:
I've got 10 different tomato varities going this year.
At the end of the year I'll harvest seeds from each, and see what comes up the next year. Each year I'll select from the best and eventually (in theory) narrow down a preferred tomato.
Am I totally insane?
