From the several types of breaker stages you outlined- which one do you think would be the one to give the best results for germination - as a rough guideline to get started with.
Michael, as I've said before, I much prefer using ripe tomatoes off the vine for seed saving. But there have been times when first frost neared and I needed to harvest partially ripe fruits, my most famous story about that being the variety Magnus, and in that case and other similar ones I try to protect the fruits on the vine until they are colored up about half way, breaker #3. if not, I go for breaker #2, but never green tomatoes although I do know someone who does get viable seeds from totally green tomatoes but I think it must be variety related in that particular situation.
