- Got requests about making a video of how I do my tomato crossings. I've shown the process in earlier vids some years ago, but I can show it again. Hope this one can be helpful for you out there wanting to make your own crossings.
The first cross is called F1. (First generation hybrid.) After 5-6 generations with selective picking, the strain usally "breed clean" as we say. The offspring has the same characteristics, and can now be called a true to seed variety.
Very impressive! This is how they make the best f1’s and that’s why they cost a lot of money for just 10 seeds. Keep up the good work.
Lol i wear two pair of glasses to carve... Fantastic demo mate ;-)

Thanks, mate!
Hope this was close up, and clear enough to be some help for the ones wanting to try this.
Nowadays I breed them for a special taste and the resistance to late blight and mold issues.
Such a labor of love, I don't have that kind on patience I'm afraid. Great job, take care my friend, Elyse.

Thanks my friend.
I haven't got this patience with everything, lol..
Picking dead flower leaves from my petunias is a very boring thingy. Always finding excuses for skipping that task. ;)
Hey, thank you mister - I'll definitely try to make my own.

Thanks for comment.
Take care and best wishes from here.
This was a really cool video. I have essential tremor so there is no way I could do this...but maybe I can convince my wife. She has a very steady hand.
Thanks for posting Will have to try this.

Yepp. This string loop helped alot against the shivering.
God bless you, man. Thanks
That's amazing 😍
I did not know this, thanks :)
Thanks I didn't have any idea but now I'm more interested in finding my next favorite tomatoes. Thanks for teaching SIR.
Question ❓ Will this work for any tomatoes or only heritage only.
Why leave the flower exposed like that for a day. Wouldnt that just give time for insects to incorectly pollinate it?
They're not of the same family but, would it be similar with strawberry. I'd like one day to cross some of our wild strawberry (Quebec Canada) with a domestic strawberry.
It's very tiny work, sensitive, precision work, need lot patience.
Make result oriented video.
Why did you use pollen from the same plant
