noire de crimee

[dice]

There was a story from Tomatofest one year about students (temporary
workers) filling seed packets while wearing long-sleeved sweaters.
The theory was that stray seeds in their packets came from seeds of
a previous variety for which the student was filling packets sticking in
the sleeves of their sweaters and then falling out onto the table while
they had seeds piled there for a different variety (that they were
subsequently filling packets for).

I guess that could happen to anyone who lived far enough north
to be wearing a long-sleeved sweater while filling seed packets
for multiple different varieties.
