I lost most of my tomatoes and peppers in that shock frost Ontario got on may 28th. I’ve babied them like crazy and most are coming back. Just wanted to share my struggle
@@GardeningInCanada my indeterminate tomatoes are doing the best. Like nothing happened at all, lol. My various peppers, and some of my squash suffered the most. Doubt I’ll get much of anything from them this year
love this video! I’m just dipping my toe into tomato x-ing. This has helped a lot. I’ve hybridized hundreds of daylilies. Until I ran out of room and nobody would take any more. But I loved it and now I’m trying tomatoes. Seems a lot harder or less success maybe? I can see now all my flower planters will be turned into tomato nurseries! I’m crossing Alices Dream with Prairie Fire.. I’m sure it’s going to look very strange but I’m hoping it will taste fantastic!
Planning to try to breed a completely purple slicer from a Norfolk Purple GMO cherry tomato and a beefsteak of some sort. Suspect it might take a few generations.
I may try Yellow Gold to a Roma…. Another questions is about saving seeds to a true type. For example I do have a mule team tomato, a San Marzano and rapunzel and I would like save the seeds. Should a parchment paper wrapping at flowing stage do the trick or leave them as is?
This is a great video, being guilty of vibrating flowers before! I never knew you had to be that careful to make F1s! No wonder they're expensive by comparison.
@@GardeningInCanada so if i grow two different heirloom tomatoes side by side Chances are good that thoes seeds would still be true but theres a tiny chance they wont be Thats why they say open pollinated right? Unless they were grown one variety in a greenhouse or something controled I think that sounds right!? Lol
Question for you? What’s your view on planting Hosta in containers? Will winter ok? I live in Saskatoon I have been watching you channel a lot. Love it very helpful Thank you Penny
You should try it. I live in Toronto and it may be a little milder but I left some guacamole hostas in a very shallow soil but wide plastic container and they overwintered fine last year.
QUESTION...say you do exactly what you just did...now that flower will produce a tomato...will only that tomatoe be a hybrid from that single flower? Or does the whole plant become a hybrid? Meaning every tomato that it produces is now a hybrid?
the tomato will look like a tomato from the mother plant, but the seeds will be children of the two plants. You will see how the tomatochildren (the F1´s) are next year when you grow them. If you don't hybridisize, the seeds in the tomato will have only one parent - the parent plant will be both the mother and father of the seeds, and the tomatoes next year will be the same as this year.
Besides having ten varieties of radish that went to seed, we've cross pollinated all of our strawberry plants that were grown from seed last summer. We have a very fluffy brush that we go from flower to flower like a bumblebee, and the end of the brush is a nice bright yellow with all the pollen on it. It's interesting to see all the differences in each of the strawberry plants, and we even have a new runner with a flower already, which means it's remontant~
I honestly have no idea. RUclips is deleting so many people’s comments it’s insane. it’s starting to hurt my channels performance in the algorithm. Next time it happens can you please report it too them? I’ll start doing that on my end as well. Because it has dropped my viewership nearly 3,000 views a day.
I have no idea what the names are. We are brand new to this and got a few tomato plants on a whim. I do know one is an heirloom that's fruits look like a pumpkin(indeterminate) the other i believe is a beef steak( determinate) the are completely different looking plants....def gonna cross them.😂😂
Well, that was interesting and not more science-y than my science knowledge level can handle. Great to have this demo for reference material!
Haha love that. Glad you enjoyed

Oh no! Are you serious. Have they bounced back?

Oh man that’s so sad. I know how that feels ❤️

F1 lemon sherbet x heirloom Black cherry tomatoes
This was an excellent video 👌
Glad you enjoyed!
I'm going to cross heirloom and cherry tomato
I love the science videos and want to see more. Thanks
❤️❤️❤️

That’s a cool combo! And just leave them as is. It’s very unlikely you will have a cross. Absolute most I would do is place a netting over the flower.

It’s a ton of work
So everything is inside thats why they dont cross easily?
Yea exactly! It helps the plant lines stay pure. Mother Nature decided it had the perfect fruit when it came to tomatoes

We live in the same city! 🎉 and they won’t survive, the only way they can make it is if you replant into the soil.
You should try it. I live in Toronto and it may be a little milder but I left some guacamole hostas in a very shallow soil but wide plastic container and they overwintered fine last year.
So.. how do you decide which plant should be the pollen donor and which should produce the tomato? Do certain traits come from male or female cells?
I want to make my own variety😀👌
Im planning to try and cross my indeterminate redcurrant variety with a determinate plum. Hoping to get a determinate redcurrant

That’s awesome. How long does that take you usually
About as long as it takes to walk from one end to the other, and sit down and bee the flowers.
Do you have to pollinate each flower on the whole plant?
No just the ones you want a cross the rest will be true to the parents
Yes tagging them is smart. In the field we use nylon bags

Feel free to do a giveaway for that kick ass shirt!
AHAHAHAHA never
So, the resulting seed from that tomato will be the same as the fruit developed or would it be of one of the parents?
It would be a potential cross of the parents involved. So if you look up punnet squares that will go you an idea of the possibilities

How about rubber chickens lmbo
LOL My dogs used to have a toy like that… till they ate it…
@@GardeningInCanada lol in our shed wars garden challenge they use rubber chickens for a joke lol
HAHAHAHA
I am going to try to a hot cross bun.lol
Hahaha 😝
Crossing yellow cherry with a mini-plum tomato.
Gah!!! Your tomatoes are soooo much bigger then mine😭😭😭😭
Oh I wouldn’t worry about that! They will catch up.

I wasnt aware lgbtq was still oppressed in Canada. Makes me happy we stopped visiting family there in 2001. Lol
