Default Can I get tomato plants from seeds of store-bought tomatoes?

Fran, would this work (paper towel) for poppy (flower) seeds? The
instructions are to mix the TINY seeds with sand before planting. I
could go down to the beach & get some sand, but am intrigued
with the "bits of paper towel. Workable?

I don't think so Higgs. The paper towel works with the tomato seeds
because they dry onto the towel after the fermented goo has been
washed off. It's easier to tear up the towel than to try to peel
off the seeds. I think that poppy seeds added to sand and spread
like carrot seed would work if you wanted your poppys in a row but
otherwise I'd just broadcast the seed where you want it to grow.


*&^%$#@$%^&*!

Yet another case of my not thinking outside the +&*^$@#%$* box!

Who, in fact, ever SAID the &%@#%^*&$poppies have to be in a row!

Sigh!

Thanks, Fran.



Glad to be of assistance:-)) Sometimes, for some reason, the bleeding
obvious escapes us all. I had such a moment a few days ago.


I have a strange feeling that you two are replaying a conversation you a
year or two ago.

You may be right!

Though it was assumed that I am perfect (by whom?) I do have this vulnerability where I go beserk when I realize I've missed the obvious, or have been thinking in established patterns. I, who preach critical thinking on every street corner !!!

Must calm down...tomorrow.
