Replinishing my seed supply

[b54red]

I just ordered a bunch of open pollinated seed for tomatoes for the first time in many years as I have been saving seed for years and years. The problem has come up with more than a couple of varieties that have degenerated and changed obviously from cross pollination over the years and I can't count on some of the seed being true so I thought I would replenish some of my seed. Has anyone else run into this problem after years of seed saving. I usually grow at least 30 varieties each year and with them all mixed up and growing close to each other I guess is is inevitable that there would be some crosses showing up in my seed saving.

After so many years of trading and raising my own seed it was quite a shock to see the prices on seed that I haven't paid for in decades. I know I could have probably gotten most of the seeds I needed through trading but I wanted them for this years grafting so to save time I just purchased them. It also gave me a chance to add some new to me varieties to try and see how they do in my garden.
