How To Save Tomato Seeds - Cherry Edition! (2019)

Saving your cherry tomato seeds is not hard! In this video, I show you how to save your heirloom cherry tomato seeds, all the way from picking off the vine to sealing in a dry plastic bag. Much the same as saving your larger beefsteak tomato seeds, saving cherry tomato seeds for next year involves seed collection, fermentation, rinsing, drying, and then storing.
It is a very simple process and takes 2 weeks, with most of the time fermenting and wait for the seeds to be ready for drying. It saves money, but it also ensures that you are getting the best tomatoes from the best varieties that grow the best in YOUR garden!

The skewer trick made fast work of getting the tiny seeds out of some yellow cherry tomatoes I was gifted. Can’t wait to plant next year.

Hi,Great video. I was wondering would waxed parchment (baking parchment) paper do as well for drying seeds on? Cheers

[@kristinafranklin3746]

Thanks.. sounds silly but our senior dog passed away recently and he loved tomato’s. Before passing he left us some cherry tomato sprouts in the yard and they are growing like crazy and I’d like to save some of the seeds for the silly memory

Thank you thank you!! This is my first year growing chocolate cherry tomatoes and now I have more seeds for next year 🤍

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Awesome, glad to hear!

[@joshuan42]

Awesome video thanks! Great info, editing, and recap.

[@jefffavelle857]

I can't believe how the little tomatoes simply explode everywhere if you don't relieve the pressure on their skin! Seeds and guts everywhere!

[@lindyflynn]

Wonderful Helpful video - Thank you so much for this! I resisted watching a youtube for it - but so glad I did. XOX

Great video👍 thank you🙏 I have riped husky cherry tomeadows and I wanted to save some of the seeds for this coming Spring.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Right on! Saving seeds is so worthwhile!

[@elizabethgomez3361]

I'm going to do this with my pinocchio dwarf cherry tomato plant! I'm just starting to pick ripe tomatoes. They are so cute! They are bright orange! The seeds were so expensive for only a few on Amazon so I want to harvest as many seeds as I can. Thank you!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Nice! Best of luck with the seed saving!

[@leeannem5665]

[@jenyoung2145]

AWESOME video. Nice repeating instructions and details. 👍🏻💯

[@lukeb6394]

Great video and great info thanks bro

[@vivicakes]

Thank you for the video! I tried out your method, but after the 10 days were up I found that most of my tomato seeds had actually sprouted. Do you know where I may have gone wrong?

[@soleyjackinourcampervan5362]

Once the seeds are dried, can they be planted right away?

[@fallmax]

Hello my friend where do you get an abundance of your white paper
Can you just buy that paper separately...
We love your videos and we learn so much...
thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us we are beginners in the garden field...

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Thanks for watching! The white paper is just regular printer paper! Cheers

[@Hutchy45445]

Great video. 👍Do you have to ferment every type of seeds you want to harvest? Like peas, etc.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Thanks! Definitely not. Tomato seeds develop this weird hairy coating on them and really respond well to the fermentation to clean off the bits of fruit. Other seeds don't have that problem... They can just be dried out normally and stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Cheers!

[@johnambrogio9585]

Hello What are your thoughts on saving the tomato seeds in the fridge for the winter? Thank you

[@annasalleh2699]

Hello - fascinating hearing about the fermenting... When you say you washed the fermenting tomatoes during the 10 days, was that over the 10 days or did you rinse them three times on the last day?

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hi Anna, I rinse them on the last day. I just let them sit and totally ferment for a week to a week and a half. :-)

[@annasalleh2699]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thank you!

[@user-wm8hb7qe8p]

Great video!

[@ginabarela515]

How do you save seeds for fruit trees? Or is it just as easy as throwing them in the dirt to grow?

[@BeardSupreme]

Hi....where did you store them for the fermenting process? Is glass ok and ahould it be covered?

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Kitchen counter.... Glass is fine, no need to cover
