Because tomato are so good in self pollinating there are a lot of Heirloom tomatoes that grow consistent from seed.

For tomato it’s very easy to cross-pollinate by hand and make your own F1 hybrids. I do not understand why not more people do this.

It’s very satisfying to make a better F1 from two Heirloom tomatoes you like. Let’s say u have a small very sweet tomato en cross it with a big strong tomato or tomato with rare color. The F1 can be perfect from taste and get very nice shapes like heart shape, pear shape, etc. Also u can get a lot of different colors. Mostly the F1 is a Healthier plant.

Last year I made a cross between a high resistant Phytophthora tomato (ph3 gene) with a juicy and sweet early tomato.

The F1 was better as both parents. The size was good, it was early, juicy perfect and taste better as both parents. Also the resistance for Phytophthora was very good.

In 2021 I will make a lot of hybrids between resistant Phytophthora tomato varieties and hope I can get some perfect tasting tomatoes.
