Campbells cross with what?

veggiecanner · February 11, 2006

I am interested in the cambells tomato this year. not sure why but I would like to cross it for an experiment with some other tomato. First this would be my first try. Is this a good place to start?
What would your recomendation be for the second tomato?

Well Cambells is early small and round, So I guess working on flavor would be good.
Maybe I could cross with stupice to improve it or Wisconsin 55 to make the W55 earlier.
Seems to me though I should pick 2 very different ones the first time, so I can tell the difference.
Not sure.

I've been planning the same thing. My plan is to cross Porter's Pride with Campbell's 1327--in an attempt to create a determinate version of the Porter's.

I raised Campbells 1327 last year. One plant had tomatoes of 3/4 to 1 pound in size. Seed came from TGS. Would that be a cross from them or a stray seed they got in?
