There is another thought about growing some F.FF.FFF,N tomatoes in our gardens. That thought ties in to a lot of other thoughts and facts. In our main garden, I grow in rows of plants planted 3' apart. The rows are 5' apart. That sounds far enough apart, but I keep seeing crosses the next year. A cross is a hybrid, and those crosses taste really good. Most of the time - they taste better than the original OPs.

My thought is, "Why not plant some F,FF,FFF,N varieties to cross with some of the best producing OP and hybrid variety tomatoes that have proven to grow and produce well in this garden?"
