What is the most productive method of saving tomato
seeds from this years crop for next year's planting please ?

Ciao, Ack.


Squeeze the juice and seeds from a tomato or two into a jar or custard
cup. Cover loosely to reduce evaporation. Let the tomato juice rot for
a couple of weeks (it will be really nasty). Wash the seeds in a
fine-mesh tea strainer, and dry on a piece of filter paper or a paper
towel. When completely dry, transfer to a little envelope and mark with
the year and the variety.

Or, just leave some rotten tomatoes on the ground in your garden and the
tomatoes will come up on their own next year :-)
