Michael Pollan Sport

[Salsacharley]

I was cleaning out one of my tomato beds today and as I was taking out a dead Michael Pollan plant I discovered two striking fruits.

One is a pretty standard Michael Pollan fruit, but it is striking because it has been freezing and thawing for over 3 weeks now.

The other is striking because it was on the same plant as the standard Michael Pollan fruit mentioned above. It has also been freezing and thawing for 3 weeks and it shows what one would expect under those conditions. It is obviously not a Michael Pollan fruit, but I have double confirmed it was on the same plant, just a different branch. There was another fruit on the same truss that was like it, but wasn't near ripe and was a pitiful soggy olive green.

I plan to save seeds from this to see what comes of it.
