what is the proper or best way to get seed from vegitables?(i.e.
peppers, tomatoes, squash, eggplant, etc.) i have had hit and miss
luck. should you leave fruit overripen on the plant, or pick and deseed
and dry seed? can't seem to make it go my way all the time.



Peppers, I just remove the seeds from a ripe fruit and dry them on a
papertowel. Same with squash and melons.

Tomatoes, squeeze the juice and seeds from a ripe tomato into a small
jar and add a little water to dilute it. Sit it aside somewhere that
your family won't find it and throw it away. Let it rot for a few days.
Then filter out the seeds and rinse them and dry on a paper towel.

I haven't done eggplant seeds.

Best regards,
Bob
