Default wild ones

These are several of the species and strains I'm either working with in various crosses or just growing because they are interesting. From left to right, the wild L. glandalosum, then an early striped strain, then the infamous and beautiful Solanum Sisymbriifolium, and finally one of the L. hirsutum crosses. The first tomato off that cross measured 11.2 on the Brix scale today. I'm hoping to develop additional disease and pest resistance in open pollinated varieties.
It appears these crosses may also have higher levels or different balances of sugars and other soluble solids. As a novice, I'd really appreciate any advice from other folks working along these lines.
