#tomatoes #plantbreeding #nongmo Breeding tomatoes is accomplished by cross pollinating two tomato varieties before flowers fully open. They typically self pollinate so this process is rather difficult to time. I did something odd by using a hybrid as a parent plant. What we got is a one of a kind, NEE tomato variety.

You remind me of the first time I read a book written by the late great Luther Burbank , he wasn’t afraid to try to mess around with plant genes the old school way either!

@@mendynoma4272 my middle school was Luther Burbank, and the city I grew up in is also Burbank. My generation is referred to as "burbillies". It's a lot different now than it was 30 years ago. I didn't know he was a plant guy. Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations on your new tomato. So if you got seeds they would only produce the parent variety? Bummer. Do you have plans for preserving the lot of tomatoes you are growing outside of the experiments?

@FastGardeningMichigan Месяц назад

@@ablacksquare well I'll save seeds from these and grow them out. If any exhibit the good genes I'll save those. That's how Heirlooms are created. Takes years of saving the best! I do have some of these seeds left to grow next year as well just for the taste!

@diegohidalgo2183 Месяц назад

That's super cool but make sure you save and sow a ton of seeds it's not true new variety until the genes are stable. Thought I guess you could clone

@FastGardeningMichigan Месяц назад

Stable would be a new heirloom. These are currently an F1 hybrid

Nice to see a fellow mad scientist, I used cross mostly purples with Brandywines. The further you F (as I like to call it), you'll get yourself a stable variety), who knows you may get a Mortgage Lifter and your financial worries will begone. Best of luck.

@@Oran-35 crossing into a hybrid will make the task harder, but I am going to keep growing these out to try to stabilize. The more I eat them, the more they've become my favorite. When they're not baked in the sun they have a fruity and sweet taste.

@Oran-35 Месяц назад

@@FastGardeningMichigan Keep trying. Nothing worth having comes easy. When referring to the F process I am referring to the stabilization process, sorry for any confusion. Again, I wish you the best and your efforts are fruitful. Oh yeah, try soaking some of the seeds with some aspirin it makes them more productive and decease resident. I've have even used a few drops of peroxide and a dash of Epson salt when soaking. My go to thing was Superthrive also. I hope it helps
