Default Tomatoes


Ooh yes, please Sacha. I would love a few. Somewhere in the archives
someone once wrote about saving their own tomato seeds. How do you do
it,
for the future? (Otherwise I'll do a search.)


It's very high tech, Sally. ;-) Towards the end of the fruiting period I
open up a few toms and I scoop the seed onto some kitchen towel. Once
they've dried out, I try to scrape them off the kitchen towel and into
e.g.
wage envelopes! If they won't scrape off, the lucky recipient gets the
paper towel, too and it dissolves in the damp compost!



Gosh that is high techy stuff :-) It would be interesting to see how it is
done on a commercial scale, they must go thro a great deal of kitchen roll
:-)
Any fortunate person got sunshine this morning ?
