Reid, how is your cross pollination going, anything interesting?

So far my tomato efforts have been focused on growing specific heirloom varieties, so I try to keep from crossing for the reason Rita said - saving seeds. But, my ultimate goal is to find the best tomatoes that will grow in my little micro climate. It would be nice to find some favorites that I can grow every year. I'm open to learning from Joseph and growing my own "Landrace" variety some day.

Here's a great article about Joseph and his experience with Landrace crops. http://cubits.org/WhosWhoSpotl...

Here's an article he wrote about seed saving. http://garden.org/ideas/view/j...
