Newbie question on seed saving.

Karrr_Luda · May 4, 2015

I have a small garden where all my tomato varieties grow together, and when I save seeds from my good tasting tomatoes, I assume, most will be crosses and will be very different from the original tomatoes. So that makes my seeds not suitable for sharing? Unless I do some hand pollination manually and pray that particular fruit is not going to be eaten by woodchuck or squirrels? How do you save your seed and what result you have gotten from using your own saved (which wasn't hand pollinated) seed?
