No worries mal, I had problems with the Mortgage Lifter variety, most Tom's got blossom end rot and couldn't do anything to fix it, google let me down badly, found many different causes and tried different fixes but no Tom's of edible quality, but the beef steaks and roma's were fine, also got some mini pumpkins that grew fine

I was under the impression that if sterile plants pollinate your heirloom seeds, your next generation plants may have sterile seeds. Maybe I should google this, but I was hoping to get some actual experiential data from the gardeners here (I have never been a farmer) I had decided to plant all heirloom seeds in the greenhouse and buy a jar of mason bees, but I wasn't sure if the bees would stay in the greenhouse. Would I have to replant all my regular yard plants with heirloom ones too? What about the old cherry tree in my yard, is it sterile? If i self pollinate with that pollinator stuff will it make my plants sterile? Thanks for any answers or success stories with plant propogation!

Ordered some off it and got them within a few days in WA. Planted a couple items and got a good success rate. Just got to wait to spring for some of it.
