I sowed some saved seeds and the plants have grown but are no where near fruiting. They're also very spindly as, like you, I ran out of enthusiasm. I doubt they'll even have one fruit to prove themselves worthy. On the same track, I saved some baby plum tomato seeds from the supermarket, called Maria. They were sweet and tasty. Once again , enthusiasm dwindled but I did pot it on yesterday, so there is a glimmer of hope it might fruit at least once before the frosts. As we know it's always a risk, not knowing if they're F1 or not. This year my old Angelle saved seed gave me two different type tomatoes, one true to type, a baby sweet plum, the other a red cocktail cherry. Both quite nice though.(23-07-2025, 02:50 PM)JJB Wrote: I was getting this mixed up with Adora, the freebie you saved seed from. Any joy from the seed?An easy mistaka to makaI did grow some seedlings from the Adora seeds but ran out of room and enthusiasm when it was time to find somewhere to plant them.
Tell me this team, if I save seed from the 'true' plant what are the odds it will remaIn true?
