If they are real Roma's and beefsteaks (Scarlet Ponderosa) then simply remove
the seeds from a ripe tomato and wash and dry them. Lots of folks

ferment fresh
tomato seeds. does remove the gel from around them but simply dried and

stored
until spring works fine, Never had any germination problems. Hybrids will
revert back (about half of them) to their parents generation. Particularly
with older hybrids you can get some interesting results, many of the more
modern hybrids are from inbred lines and you may not notice any deaviations in
the F2 generation.


I grew SunSugar F1 in my yard last year and now have some healthy
volunteer seedlings in its place. I wonder what the F2 will resemble? So
far the plant's foliage looks exactly the same. The fruit may or may not
be as good.
