OT(ish) - shop bought tomatoes and germinating seeds
We like the big Lidl vine tomatoes because, well, they taste more or less
like proper tomatoes. I have noticed recently that if you give them a few (several) days to finish ripening then the seeds start to germinate within the tomato. This does suggest that they are pretty fresh and haven't been mucked about with too much. However I haven't seen the same thing with the (I assume hydroponic) standard tomatoes. Is there something they do to shop tomatoes which prevent the seeds from germinating? Cheers Dave R P.S. it does make me wonder if a Lidl tomato would be a better source of germinating seeds than the average seed packet. -- Windows 8.1 on PCSpecialist box |
