I see different crosses on some of the seeds and obviously lots of selfs.

All of mine were what I consider open pollinated, but with the difficulty of controlling pollinations due to the fine pollen grains, are selfs actually open pollinated or how does this work. I want to label my tomato seeds properly.

Thanks,
Tom Beachy

YOURS ARE OPEN! tomatoes are self pollinating for the most part but things can happen, so if you didnt bag the blooms they are open pollinated. i hope this helps TREETOP

Controlled mater pollenations involve bagging blooms AND the Qtip... else they're open.

If you bag the pre bloom and shake the boom as it turns is that not a CONTROLLED SELF POLLENATED TOMATO i think its very controlled a controlled crossing from one plants bloom to another that have been baged is a CONTROLLED CROSSING.lets here from yall everyone probly has an idea!! Treetop
