I have 45 tomato plants growing in my garden. 7 growing next to my garage. And one growing next to my brick walkway. I did not plant any of them. After you grow your first crop of tomatoes, let a few fall to the ground, and you don't have to worry about saving seeds. Just pick a tomato like an animal, bite it like a savage and let the seeds roll off your bare chest on to the ground. Nature rocks.

My tomatoes grow wild outside my cave entrance. I mulch them with my chest hair.

@TopAnchorQuiltingTools 2 года назад

What are the chances? LOL!!! You demonstrated saving seeds from the only two tomatoes I grow every year - Amish Paste and Yellow Pear, and the kicker is that your video was published on my birthday July 13. Gotta love it! Loved your video and will be binge watching the rest for a while. I'm glad I discovered your channel today. Thanks for the great info!

@ekhoromeo 4 года назад

Great video! Gardening is a passion of mine, I never gave thought to save tomato seed, but now... Im totally on board!

@AcornHillHomestead 6 лет назад

Very thorough. This was so helpful. I will be saving quite a bit of seed from now on now. I bought mostly heirlooms this year so I could do just that. Gotta save where we can 😉. Thank you so much for this!

@brownsbounty 4 года назад

That's exactly how I've been doing it. I learned it years ago watching Martha Stewart explain it the same way...go figure. I found 2 Tomato seed packs I did in 2014 this year, and planted them in a flat. They all germinated wonderfully. (That's 6 years old.) I di dry mine directly on a plate and find they come up easier. Thanks for all your inspiration. I especially was moved by you "don't give up on your dream" video.

@kathywebster9678 7 лет назад

Very well presented, we are saving seed this year, I didn't know about letting them sit til the mold grew...makes sense to me! Thanks for all you guys do to help us all scoot along.

@garyluker623 6 лет назад

@anniegaddis5240 4 года назад

Inviable seeds will float, so do NOT keep the ones that come out with the water when rinsing them. It's better to place them on waxed paper rather than on paper towels. Keep in dark well ventilated area. Wait 24 hours, then flip them over onto a different waxed paper and wait another 24 hours. Shake them up and then one more 24 hour period. If they are truly dry, none of them will stick to another (If they do, shake them up and wait another 24 hours). If even ONE seed has a teeny damp spot, and you put it in a plastic bag or plastic container, the mold that it will grow, will spread throughout ALL the seeds. It's better to put them in a paper envelope.

@gerigowers8318 4 года назад

My Grandmother on her farm used the waxed paper.

@marktoldgardengnome4110 4 года назад

I'd like know, any or all opinions. Most articles say any seed that floats is probably not viable. However, some also say, plant them anyway, then you'll know. For those that live in the northern climates, don't have the luxury of longer growing seasons. One chance to get it right, or you harvest less. Why then, save and plant seeds that may not be viable, since when processing seeds, like in this explanation, very good demonstration, there were literally 100's of seeds that sank. I know there are all kinds of reasons why even the Best of seeds don't Always germinate. Wet, cold spell, rot,,, drought, not enough water, planted too deep, critters getting at your seeds, etc. Why not just separate them and toss somewhere, and if some do come up,,, bonus plants, or can be transplanted into garden where even some "good" seeds didn't sprout. Just looking for opinions, or suggesting anyone is wrong. I'd just like to know. Thanks for the tutorial Danny. Mark

@GrammaRosesHomestead 7 лет назад

Excellent video, Danny. That's exactly how I save tomato seeds up to the point of pouring off the liquid and adding water to the seeds. I actually use changes of water and pour off the liquid at the top after the seeds have floated to the bottom but before everything else has. Dead and immature seeds will float, so I continue to discard floaters and stuff that is not seeds until I shake the seeds in the water and the water is clear. The only other difference is that I use paper envelopes. The length of time you are drying your seed ensures yours are bone dry, and plastic is ok, but for people not quite as patient as you, paper breathes and any seeds not perfectly dry at the time they are stored will continue to dry in a paper envelope.

@janiceseigler6317 7 лет назад

Gramma Roses's Homestead: I process my tomato seeds exactly like you process yours. Been doing it this way for many many years. Works like a charm!

@georgegobble 6 лет назад

I do my seeds like you throwing away the floaters ...that leaves me with all good seeds.

I love homegrown tomatos, nothing tastes better then some fresh toast with mayo, hot sauce and thick fresh ripe backyard heirloom tomato slices. It's like tastebuds heaven.

@vickycarroll7555 4 года назад

I just take our leftover tomato slices and lay them on a dixie paper plate on the back deck and they dry in the sun...if it rains they'll still dry eventually....not as organized though...lol

@annfoster1837 4 года назад

I've even watched videos where tomato slices can be planted directly in the garden.

@kellybowser6002 4 года назад

Thank-you for explaining the reason why you fermented the seeds, nobody else has explained the why of it. I skipped this step since I do not need them until next year as I do not have a green house yet. I also use the parchment paper idea so they do not stick so badly to the paper toweling.

@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY 7 лет назад

to much work lol slice the tomatoes and put the slices on dirt in a pot and throw them in a dark spot, then next year bring the pot into the light and water and bunches of tomato plants will jump up. Works great, we have done it every year =)

@onedazinn998 7 лет назад

That totally makes sense :) I guess there is a thrifty factor in saving the dry seeds in packets because you might not use them all the next season & they will keep for a few more years if kept cool & dry.

@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY 7 лет назад

you will have fresh seeds to store again from the harvest =) lots of ways to homestead and save seeds. Not that his way was wrong we just do it different and found it soooooooo easy

@whitneymichelle8300 7 лет назад

When you make tomato paste you will get the seeds as a byproduct. Tons of it, no need to do it with every tomato one by one.

@beldengi 6 лет назад

I spoon the pulp directly onto a felt-style dish washer, then push each seed across the washer just enough to dislocate the gel which then seeps into the cloth. The seeds can then go onto a surface for drying. No water, no 5 day waiting.

@molliejonte2732 4 года назад

@justrosy5 4 года назад

If you have a self-cleaning fridge, just put the seeds on different layers of paper towels until there isn't anymore moisture for the paper towels to soak up, then put the final layers of paper towels with the seeds attached in the self-cleaning fridge. It'll dry them in a few days, then you can pop the seeds right out of the protective coatings that have now dried. Bing bang boom done. No mess, just good seeds.

@haviland586 2 года назад

I've seen other videos and read articles on the topic, and some people skip the fermentation step and just wash the gel off and dry the seeds. I'm confused. Is the fermentation step necessary, or do these other people's seeds not germinate? Not doubting your obviously tried and true method, just wondering. Thank you for the video.
