  • this is good

  • @acezghost777 Seedcolor will vary some, but ONLY save seeds from FULLY RIPE fruit. I prefer overripe and even spoiling fruits, from which to squeeze the seeds. A lot of pulp will go in, but that also rots away.

  • @acezghost777 Not likely. Usually the tomato seeds have to be white before you save it for next season. Organic tomato seeds are all right to save because they will grow. I planted some organic seeds in October and they are doing fine.

  • thanks for the info!

  • is it ok if the seeds r green

  • @fatturdburger it is amazing, ever since I started growing things I have been more and more amazed by it, and more and more appalled by the linear consumerist way that most of society is run!

  • Heirlooms have far better flavor too.

  • would this process work for other fruits like say strawberries?

  • Thank you for the insights, I'll try them out in a weeks time and see what happens.
