    I've never fermented my tomato seeds, just put them into a sieve put under running water to clean them, then onto paper towel to dry and then store them. Never had a problem with seeds germinating.

    To spread the seeds on the plate add a little water and they will float apart. Use a piece of kitchen roll folded in 4, long ways as a wick on the edge of the water pool and capillary action will pull excess water off the plate and into the towel.

    Thanks for the tutorial! I grow mainly romas and had a good crop this year and was looking to save some. Your video was opportune! I also had a volunteer sprout elsewhere in my garden and I allowed it to grow and was able to harvest some of the most perfect looking tomatoes I've ever grown. I'm assuming its a hybrid, but I decided to save the seeds anyway. Here's hoping next year's plants run true to form from this year. 🤞

    Wish I had seen this months ago. My aunt got a purple cherokee tomato from a friend of hers and brought it to me since she knew I wanted to start growing heirloom plants. I read to just dry them out. Didn't get a single seed to sprout. Lost the entire tomato and had nothing to show for it.
