Hi,

Is there any point in trying to save some seed from this year's tomatos &
use them for next year' crop ?


Not if you want to grow true-to-type F1 hybrids.

If you want to grow a specific tomato(es) for taste, cropping,
disease-resistance etc then you must bite the bullet and buy some
seeds. Cross fertilised seeds are unlikely to be useful and more
than likely to be disappointing.


Ours are OK :-))))

and we will save seed again :-))


If at first you don't suck seed, don't admit that you even tried.
