I've gotten a lot of my own hybrids where 2 types of tomatoes pollinate and you get a different offspring. Never had a problem with getting an edible plant producer. Some of the tomatoes were really good.<BR/><BR/>Most of the basic hybrid garden veggies are just ones that were crossed with known varieties by folks looking for something or the other or just a lucky hit.<BR/><BR/>Stuff like seed corn technology, that's way more involved and there I have no clue about how or what to expect if you try to save seed. I suspect that most sweet corn would give you a viable seed. Maybe not as great as the original, but ok. <BR/><BR/>The terminator and Roundup Ready type stuff? Who knows. <BR/><BR/>My brother, a professor of Agronomy, says they made 'em that way to insure that you can't filch the seed after paying the original fee required. That's why you're required to swear and sign that you won't gather seed for saving on Monsanto seed.<BR/>I can ask him about this stuff if you want. <BR/><BR/>OH BTW, If you shoot some SOB stealing from your garden? Don't let the coons and buzzards eat 'em. Drag 'em to the compost heap! I hear that Apple trees grown in old cemetery's are more productive.Grumpyunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494777446194872126noreply@blogger.com
