How to Save Seeds
Tomatoes are primarily self-pollinating, so separating varieties by approximately 50 feet is generally sufficient for maintaining seed purity.
Harvest tomatoes when they are fully ripe for seed saving. Fruits may also sit for several days after harvest before processing the seeds.
Cut ripe tomatoes in half and scoop the seeds and pulp into a mason jar or container with a small amount of water. Seal loosely and place the container in a warm location out of direct sunlight for fermentation.
Allow the mixture to ferment for approximately 5 to 7 days. During fermentation, mold and nonviable seeds will float while healthy seeds settle to the bottom.
Carefully pour away the floating material and strain the good seeds through a fine mesh strainer. Spread the seeds onto paper towels or mesh screens to dry completely, turning occasionally to prevent sticking.

Georgia Blush Tomato is awesome
I grew the tomato from seed, starting in January here in Florida. By March 1, the plants were ready to go in the ground. By June 1, I was already getting tomatoes. They are a beautiful rosy pink color, darkening as they get older. They are unblemished and just beautiful to look at. But the best thing about them is the TASTE. We have other tomatoes, but this one, in my opinion tastes like the vine ripe tomato of my childhood and is the best of all we grow. The flavor is somewhat bold, without being tart. It makes a great tomato sandwich or just to eat by itself. When you slice it, the juice doesn't fall out like so many tomatoes. The only difficulty with this tomato is deciding when it is ripe enough to pick because it doesn't get red. It stays rosy.
