Brandywine is my favorite heirloom. Big flavor, firm "meat."
Also, I have had plenty of volunteers from hybrids.
I find it interesting there’s so many different types of tomatoes exist. I like classic tart tomato flavor or the mild yellow tomatoes. I can’t get into the sweet tomato.
From what I’m reading you can save seeds from hybrid but you won’t get the same plant characteristics as the original plant. I’d like to begin saving seeds for multiple reasons. Mainly I don’t know the future of seeds and plants. They are probably going to corrupt it like the food industry. Or worse control it.
Tried to grow cherry tomato plants - unsuccessfully - from seeds from the best tasting cherry tomatoes I've ever had, these from a university's research growing fields (many years ago), was told that any individual seeds from the fruit might be reflective of one or another of the plants used in producing the hybrid, but not necessarily the delicious end product that I was trying to replicate. Go for organic seed vendors and try several until you find an outstanding version.
Thanks for your advice.
