Tips on saving tomato seeds from homegrown fruit including the types of tomato plants to avoid saving seeds from and three different methods you can use for saving tomato seeds. One method is extremely simple, the second takes three days, and the last method -- completely new to me -- takes one day and leaves you with clean seeds to store in seed packets or other containers.

i use the paper towel method and the next year I just soak and clean the seeds and germinate using the paper towel method and go to nursing pots
Love the paper towel method. Going to try this. Thank you
Me too, I had no idea it could be so easy!
I saved seeds from an F1 hybrid of cherry tomatoes last year and yes, the fruit is totally different - much bigger and tastes amazing. Also it's the only tomato plant (only one survived from that lot but that's my fault) that produced decent crop. The rest didn't do well this year. I saved the seeds from that plant again (fermentation method) and am looking forward to seeing what's going to happen next year.
Fun experiment but by saving seeds from hybrids you'll not always get a good result. You were lucky this time :)
@@Lovelygreens yes I was, and it was exactly that - an experiment. That's part of the fun when it comes to gardening. I'm also experimenting with growing avocados in my polytunnel. It probably won't happen but I'm enjoying seeing the plants grow.
I just wash the seeds until all the gel protecting the seeds is gone. I then dry them for a couple of days and then store them in envelopes.
THANK YOU for not perpetuating incorrect information about what constitutes GMO seeds.
My pleasure 😁
Very informative information. Thank you.
I just found you by watching a video on Permaculture Magazine. I want to thank you for your video and the message I left you on that video.
No snakes? Rattlesnakes will be curled up and not rattling this morning in the garden. Walk softly. I am an Irishman trying to grow in the chemical waste land called Kansas. Where chemical farmers are destroying everything. Including the topsoil. I have to pay a lady friend of mine to make soap :-) I was glued on you from the minute your video started. Absolutely love your garden. My fourth year with living soil and very interested in food forest. I have 100 foot row that is basically that. So excited to find your channel :-) They must put all the angels on Islands😊
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome 😊
Ill be checking my crimson crush flowers tonight - been saving them for about 7 years!! thanks
Id like to hear more why you would recommend that book over Seed to seed?
I've been seed saving for yonks and have Sue Strickland's earlier book, Save Your Seeds, but this was still informative and really interesting. Thanks. Now I'm going to look up your chutney recipe.
Sue certainly knows what she's doing with seed saving! Enjoy the recipe :)
Very useful video. Thank you Tanya
The universe must have been telling me to wait to hear from you. I have been weighing up which seed saving book to buy. I found one online, but I was thinking....hmmm. I am not sure. It was the universe telling me I was not meant to buy that book. I now know the perfect seed saving book for my garden. Thank you so much for recommending :-)
You cannot go wrong with Sue Strickland's book :) You're welcome for the recommendation
So the first step in saving the seeds is not to swallow them. Kind of hard with jummy tomato’s.
Hahaha!
nice video tanya
Very nice beautiful sharing thanks a lot 🇵🇰💚🌹
The fermentation method is excellent.Your videos are really educative.Many thanks Tanya🌹🌹
Thanks very much!
Excellent video. Thanks. I have a question.... Do Gardener's Delight and Moneymaker need 'flower bagging' or are the flowers capsulated?
Hi Dave -- I've not grown Moneymaker in a long time (not as keen on the flavor) but think that both are capsulated. Best check though before saving seeds!
Hi Tanya, I know that this is off topic a little, but did you ever make a video on how you made the arbor at your other house? I would like to have a go at building my own and try to save a little money for other projects I’d like to do in the garden I’ve spent ages looking everywhere but can’t find it. Thank you
Hi Christine, I actually bought it flat-pack :)
@@Lovelygreens oh really. Do you mind me asking where you bought it? I’d be very grateful
In my area its been the worst tomato season in a decade. It was triple digits and they barely survived. No fruit on any family or neighbors plants.
So sorry to hear it! Hopefully next year is better :)
I use the paper towel method as its easierxx
It certainly is! I'm really liking the washing soda method though -- also pretty quick and the seeds are all clean and loose.
@@Lovelygreens I must try that next year as i've always got washing soda around to kill off the moss on the drivex
😀😀😀👏👍
No Maggie 😭😭😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍
She'll no doubt make an appearance in the next one :)
@@Lovelygreens 😍😂😂😂😂👍👍👍xxxxx
