Saving tomato seeds with fermentation process.

in #homesteading7 years ago

Hello steemit! Today i will show you how to save tomato seeds.

I prefer to ferment them, because then they have a 90% more chance to grow.

We will need jar with water for first step and tomato.

First simply slice tomato with knife

Then you squeeze tomato . ( dont squeeze all seeds because if you want make some kind of tomato sauce its better to have some seeds for flavor)

So just slice squeeze few tomatoes.

After this all your seeds will be healthy and ready . If you want to sell them you can lightly spray them with hydrogen peroxide, but even without it they are top notch quality.

Sort:  

Problem with seeds this days are GMO. Many of seeds this days you can save for next season because they are geneticly modified to not be useful for next season.
