Growing Tomatoes

Spacing for heirlooms?

17 years ago

Hello all!

I'm a bit constrained on space but would like to grow a couple different varieties of tomato this year. I would also like to try and maintain my own seed stock but don't know how far to keep heirlooms from other tomatoes to ensure there isn't any cross pollination.

Please go to the FAQ link, at the top of this first page. click in and scroll down to the article on How To Prevent Cross Pollination and I think most, if not all, of your questions will be answered.

If not, please do post any other questions you might have here in your own thread.

I'll be growing my toms as close together as possible so I can fit 16 plants in my constrained space...I will be saving seeds too and I'll bag the blossoms of the varieties I want to keep.
