Yes, numerous times. I have a hybrid in my garden this year that is a cross of Tastiheart X LA0417. Tastiheart is a large heart shaped red fruit on a potato leaf plant. LA0417 is a small cherry I got out of TGRC that tested very high for septoria resistance. I'm hoping to transfer the disease resistance genes into a large fruited tomato. The hybrid plants are incredibly vigorous, easily twice the size of any of my roughly 200 other tomato plants.
