Very interesting... Thanks. ;-)
HELLO everyone from cooool central Texas. It is just wonderful. Of course I love cool to cold weather, you can keep layering to keep warm, but when it’s HOT, you can take off just so far to be acceptable.
Thank you Red Devil for the tomatoe seeds cleansing.
I LOVE this weather. I can work in the yard and work on my stained glass project in the garage. Life is good.
I have never had tomato seeds ferment. I lay out the seeds with whatever gel is attached on a paper towel until they are dry. Then, I just carefully wash them off with plain water and place in a shallow dish on another, clean paper towel. If any seeds stick together, I just separate them. I then store them in the plastic containers that straight pins come in, because I have a lot of those. I do wrap the dry seeds in yet another piece of paper toweling inside the plastic container to protect from the light.
Last year I started 35 seeds from a Campari tomato from the grocery store. All of them germinated and grew. I planted a dozen in the garden and one in a container on the deck. I must have given away a couple of dozen. All the reports I got back were positive. They bred true, as well.
