We had a very nice tomato from which I kept all the seeds.
After much rinsing I placed them between sheets of paper towelling. When
they were dry I tried to remove them but some (quite a few) have bits of
the paper stuck on.
I wonder if there are any chemicals on the paper that would affect them -
if so is there a better way?
(There were so many I easily can afford to throw away the papery ones but
it would be good to know.)
I've never had a problem using the paper towels to dry seeds, be they
Tomatoes or Epiphyllums.
I saved some chilli seeds over from 2014 but they failed to germinate.
Perhaps I should have waited for the chillies to dry, before removing seed?

I've grown chilli and sweet peppers from supermarket bought peppers. l just cut open the fruit and planted the seeds. both types have germinated within a few days. Had reasonable crops from both.. Thinking about it, l have never had any fail. l must admit though, that l am not a great pepper fan
