Seed Saving Tips...

Amazing that one little seed can make a huge plant

I personally select all my tomatoes for seeding.  When developing these amazing tomato varieties I select from the chosen few that exhibit extreme flavor, great looks and plant habit. This is a all natural time consuming process.

Seeds and juice are squeezed into plastic cups, covered with a paper towel to prevent it from becoming a fruit fly paradise but still allowing air in so the fermentation process starts.

After about a week the fermentation process is complete. This will help kill off unwanted diseases and produce a clean seed for next year's planting.

The freshly fermented seeds are rinsed clean and put on a paper plate to dry for a couple weeks.

The clean dry seed will last up to 10 years although I am constantly freshening up my stock.
