Hey ~

Great question as I had a number of tomatoes
this year with black seeds on the inside ...
I was so grossed out by them I didn't even eat them let alone save them ... In trade ... I have gotten "dark" seed - but I alawys select the lighter ones to plant ...

So they are viable ~
Like you said, maybe just try an experiment with only black seeds ...

Good post ~

Whta I've been wondering lately is if a fruit is just a week or so away from being fully mature - will it produce viable seed ?
