I am in my 4th year of growing tomatoes now and have wondered about maybe trying to do a cross. I do not currently have allot of garden space so beyong the F1 generation it might take me some time to experiment with the F2 but I may have more land by then.

My question is not knowing much about the genetics involved of the varieties I am growing what do you think would make for an interesting Cross? Currently I only grow for slicing and eating fresh or on sandwhiches.

Spudakee (PL version of Cherokee Purple)
KBX
Ed's Millenium
Mexico
Cherokee Green
Indian Stripe (If they make it)
Brandyboy F1
Heatwave II F1

What are you thoughts on what would make for a nice slicing and good tasting tomto in the F1 and also what I might expect in the F2 and F3 generations.

Thanks!
