I make many hundreds of crosses each year and plan to do so this year as well. I have near 500 kinds of tomatoes in the greenhouse now and to sow many more is just insane....I don't have places for the excess during the middle of winter. I need to advance hybrids to F-2 seed and one of my friends wanted to grow some of my tomatoes and agreed to the fact that I need seed back. The seed below is being sent one seed per variety to prevent sharing and even then the identities are being kept unbeknownst to my cooperator. There is no way I could charge enough for this seed since the man hours to produce it frankly overwhelms me to no end. The permutations of the genetics brought forth is very complicated for the four way hybrids...some things will be lost entirely in the mix and others will be amplified if present in the F-1 and increased in homozygous alleles. The seed returned to me will need extensive grow outs to find and fix the traits. I would love to be at the location of the garden to take photos however if the gardener does so I am OK with that. I wish I could be there and bulk collect pollen from all 40 plants and pollinate one flower on each variety...that would give me 1600 combinations which includes the 40 selfs but even those are variable. Think about 1560 F-1's ....how cool would that be?
