Hybrid Tomatoes

By Cynthia Sax on August 12, 2022

We planted four types of tomatoes this year. One (the Beefsteak) was grown from dollar store seeds. Three (Mini, Heirloom and Roma) were grown from seeds we’d harvested from bought tomatoes.

The Mini and Heirloom tomatoes grew pretty much true to their bought tomato. And wow, there are a gazillion tomatoes on each plant. The Mini tomatoes are trying to take over the garden. The Heirloom tomatoes are HUGE.

The Roma tomatoes, however, didn’t grow true to their bought tomato.

Some of them were huge (bigger than my hand) and looked like a traditional tomato. I often mistaken them for the Beefsteaks but no, they were grown from the Roma tomato seeds.

Some of them look a bit more like how I expected Roma tomatoes to look. These tomatoes, unfortunately, have a tendency to rot at the bottom (the flower end).

If I had unlimited garden space, I would harvest the seeds and see what THEY grew. Would they be different yet again? Or would they be similar to this year’s tomatoes?

I only have a small garden, unfortunately. So I won’t be running that experiment.

Anyhoo… hybrids are tricksy – both in tomato form and in sexy character form (thinks about Kralj from Dark Thoughts). We never know what we’ll get!
