And the guarantee that has no taint to the tomato will not stick. According to the grapevine said yesterday that in Armavir blacken tomatoes and Kursk Region began to blacken. So it's time to rush to collect the seeds.

For example, someone takes seeds with overripe tomatoes, some less or no ferments ferments, once washed. The answer is simple: tomatoes very tolerant culture. With them you can do a lot as well, and with any of us. And nothing. However, there is a better way to collect seeds. It for myself, I was looking for and now found.
