Size of fruit and seed saving

Marko · October 10, 2009

Yes, I know that seed from small fuit should be genetically identical to those from larger fruits of the same plant (unless somatic mutation occurs), but all the people I know including myself are saving seeds from the largest and best looking fruits.
I'm somehow reluctant to save seed from not so perfect fruits, but on the other hand I know that I could save much more seeds that way.
Am I wrong? Perhaps I am, but I guess that I'm not the only one in Tomatoville doing this
