Author Garden: Black Brandywine heritage tomato Fernie Snow Bunny Member # 5068 posted                       I was given one of these absolutely delicious tomatoes to eat about 2 weeks ago. I was soon drooling over the wonderful flavor. Anyway I wanted to save the seeds to grow some of my own for next year. I washed the seeds in clear water and let them dry thoroughly on a screen. Is there anything else I need to do in order to plant them next spring??? * * * * GO DAWGS! Plants: 3479 | From: The Idaho Boonies | Registered: Apr 2005  |  Seeded: 69.21.8.2 badplanter Garden Pro!

I have them in an envelope and in my seed storage container so will see how they work next March. * * * * GO DAWGS!

You probably know that already... I think you've been at this seed harvesting stuff longer than I have. It's just that I had to learn that the hard way!

Member # 6667 posted                       The most common method for saving tomato seed is to let the seeds and juice ferment in the open air for a week or so to break down the gel coat. It is also said to combat disease by doing this also. Once that's done, rinse the seeds well, let them dry thoroughly and store them in a DRY environment. Tomato seed has been proven to stay viable for as long as a decade if stored in ideal conditions. * * * * John - Zone 6 Plants: 1068 | From: Connecticut | Registered: Aug 2005  |  Seeded: 209.178.236.58
