How to Save Seeds
Tomatoes are primarily self-pollinating, so separating varieties by approximately 50 feet is generally sufficient for maintaining seed purity.
Harvest fully ripe tomatoes for seed saving. Fruits may sit for several days after ripening before processing if desired.
Cut tomatoes in half and scoop the seeds and pulp into a mason jar with a small amount of water. Allow the mixture to ferment in a warm place out of direct sunlight for 5-7 days.
After fermentation, remove floating debris and mold, then rinse the remaining viable seeds thoroughly through a fine mesh strainer.
Spread seeds onto paper towels or drying screens and stir regularly during drying to prevent sticking. Once completely dry, store seeds in a cool dry location for future planting.

Great little tomato
Great little tomato. It's not as popular, but it sets fruit well. It doesn't mind cooler temps and ripens earlier than most. Good one to try you won't be disappointed
