This is whats left from one of last year's late pollination attempts. I finally tried to get the seeds out.
It was a cross using Dan Sutherlands genetics (whatever he sent to the seed exchange).
The pollination was done in September or October. So it violated my "pollinate before August 15th to get viable" seeds rule.
I should have heated the greenhouse somehow. The late pollinations would have worked if I could have pushed the temp in the greenhouse up to 70-80 instead of being stuck down at 30-50.
I have plenty of tomato seeds to plant but it was still disappointing that I didnt get the late season controlled crosses to succeed. In hindsight the best thing might have been to bring the whole project indoors.
