Hi, I'm new here at Tomatoville, and enjoying it. I did a search on Cheesman's tomato and didn't come up with much, other than an apparently low opinion of it... Anyway, apologies if this subject has already been discussed and I missed it.

I like the flavor of L. cheesmanii - at least the one that I have. Seems "old-timey" to me. The question is, have any of you made any crosses with this tomato? What were they like? I've never intentionally created a hybrid tomato before, mostly because of space concerns, but I think I'd like to try it with this one and ... the possibilities are endless...
