Do you rogue?

[mogarden]

By "rogue" I mean a plant not like the others in a row or patch, so "rogueing" is removing all the unusual plants in a group before saving seeds. I'm wondering if you rogue your plants or just let the chips fall, so to speak. In a 100 ft row of beans one plant that makes an off-color-type won't make a big difference the first year. They might even die out and not make any dif at all, BUT they could be a mutation that slowly takes over and in a few years your beans are different, not like the original KY wonders at all (for instance).
Now, I'm growing in containers with one plant in each so didn't expect to have much in the way of off-type plants. I have 2 Black Krim tomatoes started inside. One is regular size, about like my other large tomatoes. One is an inch tall, (vs. 10 in)and not growing much at all. A real runt! I am keeping it for the heck of it but in former yrs with a long row I'd have pulled it and put in a normal one. What do you do? Keep all the mutts or rogue 'em out?

Usually keep all the mutes, But I don't collect seeds from them, I cannot see pulling a perfectly fine plant just because it is a mute, I will still get tomatoes off of it and can them. If lets say I pull it , then thats 1 less plant I get tomatoes off of.... Now hubbs last year we had a whole row of tomatoes that came up them selves, he kept them and decided this year he will till everything under and start with fresh new plants .... So depends on who's side of the garden it's on lol

If it's growing at all I leave it alone.
