I have never bagged blossoms or isolated plants. Today I spoke with a local extension employee who warned me that I have been doing it wrong. He said that if I have bees in my garden (I do) that the tomatoes will easily cross and I won't get what I expect when I regrow those seeds. Have I just been lucky so far? Is this as big a concern as he was stating?
