Why and how of Saving your own Seeds __ "If left to themselves, our fleshy fruits would naturally fall to the soil and rot slowly, allowing some of their seeds to settle into the ground , and sprout when spring arrives. Saving seeds from these plants mimics

And except for tomatoes, you need to be fairly certain that the plants in question have not been cross pollinated by insects." - From rain.org - http://rain.org/~sals/miller2.html
