Tomatoes and beans are self pollinating so unless you have hover flies which are a native bee in some areas so your saved tomato seeds should be pure unless hybrid.

Hey there. I cover the blossom clusters with a mesh baggie. I found the money Amazon. They're 4 inches by 6 in with a drawstring. As soon as the fruit sets I cut the bottom off the bag and leave the entire bag on that branch with that fruit so I know that I have saved those blossoms from being cross-pollinated with anything else. Where are you watching from?

@@GardenJargon North Idaho, I have hover flies so I have to do the same.

I will grow over 30 varieties this season and I will plant one of each of them in my home garden so I can make CERTAIN to save these heirlooms. I tried last season at my church garden but it was too hard to manage that many varieties. I also like to walk by and hit the mesh baggie everyday to shake the pilot around in the bag so it will set fruit quicker. That's hard to do with a garden that's not on my property. I lived and learned. I will shoot a video about this as well.
