That is very good to know! I have been growing them for years myself and never thought about that. He gave me a tomato and I forgot about it in the plastic container, I think it got fairly ripe (not quite rotted/fermented but not regular ripe) so hopefully that did ok. Maybe I'll plant 1/2 to all the seeds anyway and hope one comes up. My old soil should be ok then, since that should have 'fermented' seeds. They are heirloom varieties too, I had a couple of green tomatoes, Black Russians and a 'rainbow' tomato that was yummy. I neglected my garden last year and we had a dry year so I didn't get very many because they didn't get enough water. With both of us working full time and then I have to also cover the litter box and all the cooking because she's also studying I can't get out and water as much as I should. I'm going to try to do better this year.
