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.
