| I am very much the rank beginner with this.
This year I bought a number of different tomato & pepper varities to see which ones I killed, and which ones I didn't. (I should really just take up rose gardening. I just have a knack for roses.) The house is zero-lot line, all plants are in containers in the small courtyard. I'd *like* to save seeds from the heirlooms (there are some hybrids too), but it occurs to me I might have some cross-pollination due to the close quarters. I am probably way too ahead of myself. ;) Thoughts on this? Suggestions? I'd like to explore heirloom gardening & seed sharing more in the future, but I also am concerned about unwittingly creating hybrids. |

| You might consider reading the FAQ pages on the tomato and Pepper forums as they discuss cross pollination. You could bag your plants to help prevent cross pollination and a quick search on this website would give you ideas on how to do that. Good luck and welcome to heirloom gardening. Dean |
