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



Hi Bob, I saved tomato seeds before just from squeezing the tomato and
letting the seeds dry on paper towel. Why do you let it rot for a few days
in a bit of water? does it make it better/hardier?
thanks Lynn



It's supposed to kill disease organisms that might otherwise be on the
seeds. Or that's what I've read at a seedsaver site somewhere.

Best regards,
Bob
