    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 grandmother use to get the seeds and jel out onto newspaper lay that out in the sun durning the day and bring them into the porch durning the night and after about a week she would move them onto the cabinet top on the back porch she also dried them out on newspaper in the shade of the back porch durning the summer which took her about two weeks she did about all of her seeds that way

    I had to laugh when I saw this. My kids who are adults now laughed at me for doing this. ( saving seeds)
    Their joke was “ better not let mom catch you throwing that seed away! You know she saves them all..... she may never plant them..... but you better save them for her anyway!!!!”
    Now they are beginning to learn why I did it! And, yes! Be sure they are completely dry before packaging them..... so that they won’t get moldy, or rot!
    Keep up the good work of teaching people! Thank you.

    • @JR-zm2yu
      @JR-zm2yu 4 года назад +8

      jeff craig I haven't used this method yet. I keep seeds, but not in fridge - no need if they've been dried. I also have experimented by simply toss over-ripened on to the dirt outside my window at one end of the house... 17 tomato planta 1 year, just watered once they grew.. 5 papays trees.. 2 avocado trees etc ... I had also done a raised bed about 4 yrs ago that i need to replace, so in the meantime, i had taken a rotting pumpkin and tossed it on there & also cantaloupe... They were thriving ... But, i blinked & bugs ate the leaves ... Magically, about 5 yrs ago, birds must have dropped seeds via their poop & i had a 12ft squash plants growing across my front lawn - great conversations w/passers by ... They flowered, but didn't produce the squash -the flowers are also edible & considered a delicacy ...Bottom line: you'll get a more bountiful & organized garden if you plant the seeds individually & tend to the garden, but if no means to do that, don't through rotten/bruised or over-ripened veg/fruit away - toss them in a garden plot, or make a compost w/them.😊👍👍💜🙏

  • @GODnGUTSnGUNS
    @GODnGUTSnGUNS Год назад +2

    Great video , but I have found that through years of saving heirloom seeds, that after you rinse the pulp off, of your seeds in the strainer, it is much more effective to put the seeds back into a container of water. Let them sit in the container for about 15 minutes, then you will see some of the seeds floating, as well as some of them floating between the top and bottom of the container . You must discard all of them. Only keep the ones that have stayed in the bottom. My germination rate has been incredible since doing this for years . 100 percent germination rate is usually unheard of , but I have been getting it for several years, by using this method of elimination of seed separation. Best of luck to everyone.

    I'm starting my "Seed Journey" as in investing in heirloom varieties, and this was PERFECT. Note: The "Off Grid" with Jim and Stacy method actually seemed more difficult to me. Who has room for slices in pots, especially to be kept in the dark for a year? I just see it as a sloppy, space consuming process. Your method comes together in about a week, identification is maintained, and storage is compact and tidy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge - this was EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!💚🍅🐝🥒🌱🌻❤️🧡‼️

    I use the same method. This year's planting are from seeds harvested in 2010 and 2014. Right now in April 1st., 2024 [ no trickery], they are 30" high with blossoms. Nothing more than kept in paper envelops, under normal refrigeration. I have a 25' ladder made our of wire fence tubes, neighbors call them tomato trees; indeed, growing higher than the house roof top. Chow! Yeah I can prove it. Rungs - treated 2"x 4" diag. holes.

  • @thomspengler1635
    @thomspengler1635 5 лет назад +53

    Thanks Danny, I’ve got a couple tricks to add: I see you use masking tape to mark the soaking jar - If you stick that to your face a couple times before sticking to the jar it won’t be as sticky, which will make it easy to peel off the jar and then affix to the paper towel. It eliminates messing with a sharpie with wet hands. I can attest to the importance of labeling (YOU WILL FORGET.)
    You can also throw a few grains of rice in the zip lock bag to act as a desiccant, keeping them dryer so they last a few more years, and much cheaper than those paper desiccant packs.
    As far as what seeds to save, any OP (Open Pollenated) or Heirloom fruits will breed true to the single parent plant. Hybrid seeds (labeled F1, F2, GMO) have two completely different parents and they will not give the same fruit true to the fruit they were harvested from. It doesn’t matter if it’s “ORGANIC” or not, as long as it’s healthy.
