I have the book Seed to Seed by Suzanne Ashworth and am going to start saving seed from my garden this year. I am ordering only heirloom open pollinated seed to start with. I am unsure about the tomatoes if I can grow several types and not have them cross. The book says tomatoes are inbreeding plants and that seed savers should have no problem with cross pollination if you grow one currant tomato or one potato leaved variety if the styles are covered by the anther tubes. I want to plant Brandy wine and Black from Tula and Amish Paste all in the same 40' x 100' area. I will probably put one type on each end and one in the middle but just want to make sure since I am going to be saving these seed for years to come. Thank you Kenneth From Lufkin TX
