Because I'm a newbie, and I have well over 15 different Heirloom tomatoes I want to try this summer, will I have to space them out along ways? Will they cross pollinate with each other in other words? I suppose that's a really dumb question, since they are open pollinators, they must, right? How far should they be? Far I suppose, because woudn't the bees spread their polline? I might have to reduce the amount I've got then. Maybe I can give them to friends and we can share all the different varieties with each other. That way I can taste all of them. What do you say?
Thanks. Sagewood
