I've never fermented my tomato seeds, just put them into a sieve put under running water to clean them, then onto paper towel to dry and then store them. Never had a problem with seeds germinating.

This is the best tomato seed saving video I've seen yet. Thank you.

I just slice them and dry them on paper towels. I have no problem getting them to germinate; which is a understatement.

Love that you share techniques and knowledge not just a tour of your garden. I appreciate that so much. Garden tours are nice too but love to learn from other gardeners and homesteaders. Thank you so much!

I want to actually save from a volunteer that came from my garden. It’s one of the most delicious tomatoes I’ve ever had and I want to stabilize the genetics.

I was looking for possibly an easier way to harvest seeds. My method currently is squeeze out throw on a sieve and spray down, then throw on a plate to dry. No issues germinating any seeds. I appreciate the effort put into the video though

Not only outstanding information but outstanding videography So well done - there is a career for you in video production Thank you very much

I really can't believe how timely this is. It was just outside trimming my plants and thinking about saving three different varieties that really did well this year. Literally 20 minutes ago. This is great thank you.

I love your garden/tomatoes. I was just thinking of how to extract tomatoes seeds to be used for seedlings and I saw your video. Thanks so much.

Very informative. I greatly appreciate the book suggestion.

Great video, I also have seeds from my Grandfather, came from south of Rome in late 1910s. Our family has been saving seeds all this time, I look forward to trying some of your tips to improve my success.

We in Croatia call that tomato "Volovsko Srce" - Oxen Heart 😊

I’ve been saving and using my seeds for a year or so but I never knew how to tell if a plant is cross pollinated or not. Your video was great - a good explanation plus good video pictures! Thank you!

This is such a great explanation! I've just thrown away a huge batch of tomato seeds after they molded thoroughly and now I know it was a mistake. Thank you! Now I will have kilograms of tomato seeds, because I eat really a lot of it 😅

Very straight forward,I love it. Thank you so much for the tips ❤

To spread the seeds on the plate add a little water and they will float apart. Use a piece of kitchen roll folded in 4, long ways as a wick on the edge of the water pool and capillary action will pull excess water off the plate and into the towel.

Easy to follow. THANKS

Thanks for the tutorial! I grow mainly romas and had a good crop this year and was looking to save some. Your video was opportune! I also had a volunteer sprout elsewhere in my garden and I allowed it to grow and was able to harvest some of the most perfect looking tomatoes I've ever grown. I'm assuming its a hybrid, but I decided to save the seeds anyway. Here's hoping next year's plants run true to form from this year. 🤞

Thank you! This is simple and short and to the point.

Thank you. I think I am going to love your channel.

Thank you! That was extremely informative and helpful. I just saved seeds from my Jet Star and Amish Paste! Last fall I saved seeds from Sungold cherry tomatoes on a napkin. They germinated great but I’d like a tried & true method.

Thank you for the tip. I have been saving seeds for a long time, no expert, but I learned alot from you so thank you!

Thank you for sharing how to save seeds. I always wanted to learn and I enjoyed your easy method. Also thank you for recommending that book on saving seeds I want to read that this summer. Great video ! Hope you have a wonderful growing season this Summer !

Great videography and the best narration I have ever heard. Wonderful job. You could teach this method as well as saving seeds!! Jim in California

ty

Thank you fir sharing I feel I learnt allot can I ask the seeds you harvest from theses tomatoes by any chance do you sell them online snd if so are you able to ship to the Uk thank you fir your time

Can you use this same seed saving process with frozen tomatoes?

I want to kno where to buy non hybrid seeds. i am trying to start my own vegetable garden. i am from Honduras and Im trying to produce my own and make it financially since I am on my own.

Suppose these are seeds I'm wanting to plant right away...at what stage can I plant them instead of storing them? Or do they need a long storage period as part of the process?

Hi!!! I’m interested in buying some of your fer Tania Italian heirloom seeds. Please

Is it normal to have a lot of seeds germinate during this process? I let them sit for only 3 days.

Could you set them out to dry in a greenhouse or coldframe, or is that too humid an environment?

Hi where could I get fertunia seeds thank you

Those tomatos look awesome do you ever sale or share seeds

do have a link where can i get the fertunia seeds that you mentioned?? tia

I would really love to get my hands on some of the fertunia tomato seeds, but I can't find them anywhere. Do you know where I can purchase them?

Wish I had seen this months ago. My aunt got a purple cherokee tomato from a friend of hers and brought it to me since she knew I wanted to start growing heirloom plants. I read to just dry them out. Didn't get a single seed to sprout. Lost the entire tomato and had nothing to show for it.

New subscriber. Looked up Fortuna tomatoes, all I found were F1 hybrids. I try and grow only heirloom veggies to save their seeds. Do you know where I could purchase the variety you showed, looked like a great tomato. Stay Well!!!!

So my big question???? Are you selling/swapping those Italian heirlooms??? Thanks, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What if it doesn’t mold? It’s been 5-6 days and nothing. Do I just wait longer?

Forunato. Any suggestions for finding them?

Great video would it be the same for other things as well

I don’t have Time for the gold standard method I just crush a tomato in a strainer and spray it with the water hose, -dump the seeds onto a paper plate or paper towel and let them dry - takes 1 minute

Can I get frutunia seeds from you ?

Where can we get this seed?

I would love to buy some Fertania tomato seeds, where can I purchase some? Thanks!

Tomato milking. Hmm

💟

I am an avid seed collector and seed steward. I would love someof these seeds if possible. I will even trade you something for them. Please contact me. I have well over 3,000 varieties to chose from.
