Tomato "Taiko"

* How to get seeds.
Some gardeners prefer to grow their own seeds. Remember that seed production can only be done with varieties. When purchasing seeds in a store, pay attention to the F1 sign on the bag in front of the name. It means that this is a “first generation hybrid” and such seeds cannot be used for further propagation.
The easiest way to get seeds is from self-pollinating plants: peas, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, eggplant, peppers. In such plants, several varieties can be placed side by side without fear of hybridization. Moreover, in order to obtain seeds, one plant is enough. Although, under certain conditions, tomatoes and peppers are capable of cross-pollination. In such cases, it is necessary to place them at some distance from variety to variety (2-3 m), planting tall bushes between the bushes, or simply isolate individual flowers with a gauze cover.
