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.

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.
@Beeautifullifefarm9 күн бұрын
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

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.

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. 🤞
