Heirloom Tomato Seeds

[MrandMissConverted]

I really wasn't sure how to extract seeds from cherry tomatoes but used another rough method successfully. I scraped out the seeds and spread them as thinly as possible over tissue paper. The tissue paper helped to dry the seeds. After about a week or so, I tore tiny pieces of the tissue paper with one or two seeds stuck to it and planted that piece of paper. The result was very healthy plants.

I'm trying to figure out whether the same can be done with strawberries.

I like to use the method in the video. Some folks clean them, dry them & store in containers after they are sure the seeds are perfectly dry.

You made that so easy. I will definitly be trying that.

We are looking for "Arkansas Traveler". Our local nurseries don't seem to have them.

may i ask, why would u preserve the seeds? Are you going to plant them? And should we put the good seeds under the sun?

@armyboy24 May I ask you why you would use "u" then later use "you" in this sentence?

[armyboy24]

@Deviicat556 - No, you may not ask me. This is because that is such an irrelevant question that I will not bother spending my time to explain to u.

@RecipeCook how do you dry your seeds? and for how long? do you sun-dry them or dehydrate them?

thanks
